Answer 2

Answer in detail. An ant is located at the point with coordinates 0° latitude, 40° east longitude. What are the coordinates of the most distant point from it on the surface of the globe? Latitude - ... (With signs) Longitude - ... (With signs)

The most distant point from the ant on the surface of the globe is the point that is diametrically opposite to it, or the antipode. To find the antipode of any place, we can use the following formula:

- The latitude of the antipode is the same as the latitude of the original place, but with the opposite sign. For example, 0° becomes -0°, 45°N becomes -45° or 45°S, and -30° or 30°S becomes 30° or 30°N. - The longitude of the antipode is the difference between 180° and the longitude of the original place, with the opposite sign. For example, 40°E becomes 180° - 40° = 140°W or -140°, and -120° or 120°W becomes 180° - (-120°) = 60°E or 60°.

Using this formula, we can calculate the coordinates of the antipode of the ant as follows:

- The latitude of the antipode is -0°, which is the same as 0°, since changing the sign does not affect the value of zero. - The longitude of the antipode is 180° - 40° = 140°W or -140°, which is the opposite of 40°E.

Therefore, the coordinates of the antipode of the ant are 0° latitude, 140° west longitude or -140° longitude. This point is located in the Pacific Ocean, near the Pitcairn Islands. You can also use the Antipodes Map to find the antipodes of any place on Earth.
