Good question. What they mean to say is that locations that are "more East" are earlier, while locations that are "more West" are later.

The starting city was at a longitude of 75* West. Notice that 73* West is more to the East than the starting city (in other words, it is "less West"), while 78* West is more to the west than the starting city.

This is why we subtract 8 minutes going to 73* West from 75* West.

Points O, P, and Q are not collinear and form ∠POQ. Point R is on OP−→− between points O and P. Line l passes through R parallel
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Two triangles are said to be similar to each other if the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

Given triangle ORS and triangle OPQ. ∠ROS = ∠POQ

∠ORS = ∠OPQ (corresponding angles are equal). Also, ∠OSR = ∠OQP (corresponding angles are equal)

Therefore using angle angle similarity theorem, we can say triangle ORS is similar to triangle OPQ.

Therefore:

ratio of RS to PQ = ratio of OR to OP = ratio of OS to OQ
