The distance from around the Earth along a given latitude can be found using the formula C=2∏r cos L , where r is the radius of

the Earth and L is the latitude. The radius of Earth is approximately 3960 miles. Describe the distances along the latitudes as you go from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.

Answer:

The distance reduces to 0 as you go from 0° to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the distance using different values of L and check the trend of the values.

Given C=2×pi×r×cos L where L is the latitude  in ° and r is the radius in miles then;

Taking r=3960 and L=0° ,

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 0°

C=2×\pi×3960×1

C=7380\pi

Taking L=45° and r=3960 then;

C= 2×\pi×3960×cos 45°

C=5600.28\pi

Taking L=60° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 60°

C=3960\pi

Taking L=90° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 90°

C=2×\pi×3960×0

C=0

Conclusion

The values of the distance from around the Earth along a given latitude decreases with increase in the value of L when r is constant

The largest perfect square factor of 252 is _____
slega [8]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

252 is a composite number. The exponents in the prime factorization are 2, 2, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 x 3 x 2 = 18. Therefore 252 has 18 factors.
