Answer:
Explanation:
Here, geographic coordinates of
St. John's (NL) is latit
The angular distance is 100o
To covert it into radians,
1o = pie/ 180o = 0. 0174444 radians
therefore,
100o =?
multiply 100 with 0. 0174444 we get,
= 1. 7444 radians
Now we have a formula to calculate the distance between these two cities.
Let y is the distance between two cities
Therefore,
Y = (x/360) x 2 x pie x R
Here,
x = angular distance between the cities.
pie = 3. 14
R= radius of earth = 6371km
Hence, by putting these values in the above formula we get,
Y = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371
= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88
= 11113. 82 km
