Answer:
- arc second of longitude: 75.322 ft
- arc second of latitude: 101.355 ft
Explanation:
The circumference of the earth at the given radius is ...
2π(20,906,000 ft) ≈ 131,356,272 ft
If that circumference represents 360°, as it does for latitude, then we can find the length of an arc-second by dividing by the number of arc-seconds in 360°. That number is ...
(360°/circle)×(60 min/°)×(60 sec/min) = 1,296,000 sec/circle
Then one arc-second is
(131,356,272 ft/circle)/(1,296,000 sec/circle) = 101.355 ft/arc-second
__
Each degree of latitude has the same spacing as every other degree of latitude everywhere. So, this distance is the length of one arc-second of latitude: 101.355 ft.
_____
<em>Comment on these distance measures</em>
We consider the Earth to have a spherical shape for this problem. It is worth noting that the measure of one degree of latitude is almost exactly 1 nautical mile--an easy relationship to remember.
Never heard of “zinc” sorry buddy cant help
<h3><u>The fully factored form of the polynomial is (x^2 - 6)(x + 3).</u></h3>
We can factor by grouping.
(x^3 + 3x^2) - (6x - 18)
Factor binomials.
x^2(x + 3) - 6(x + 3)
(x^2 - 6)(x + 3)
