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

What is the solution of this system of linear equations? 3y = x + 6 y – x = 3
Greeley [361]
Hello :
<span>3y = x + 6 ...(1)
y – x = 3...(2)
by (2) : y = x+3...(*)
subsct in (1) :
3(x+3) = x+6
3x-x= -9+6
2x= -3
x=-3/2
subsct in (*) : y =-3/2 +3 =3/2</span>
