The distance between two positions with longitudes A and B is given by ||A| - |B|| if the two positions are at the same side of the meridian (0 degrees longitude) and |A| + |B| if both positions are at different sides of the meridian.
Given that <span>Moscow is at 37.62 degrees longitude and Brasilia is at -47.87
degrees longitude, thus the two cities are at different sides of the meridian.
Therefore, the distance </span><span>(in degrees) between the longitude lines of Moscow and Brasilia</span> is |37.62| + |-47.87| = 37.62 + 47.87 = 85.49
Answer:
if they are equal then it would be 6.5
