The latitude of the northernmost city is 73° N. What is the latitude of the other city? The radius of the Earth is approximately 6400 km The latitude of the other city is approximately N (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest integer as needed) tion 4 stion 8 tion 12 tion 16

Explanation / Answer

Solution :- the radius of the Earth is 6400 km, then the circumference of the Earth = 2 pi r = 12800 * pi =

= 40,212 km.

now the angle between s = r * (theta) = 360 * 1800/40212 = 16.11º ( note that i have converted the angle into degree)

Subtract the angle from the latitude of 73º - 16.11 = 56.89º N latitude = 57º N latitude
