Question

Точка A расположена к северу от экватора на расстоянии 6666 км,точка B-к югу от точки A на расстоянии 2222км.Определить географическую широту точек A и B

Answer 1

Географическая широта точки А - 60⁰ с.ш
географическая широта точки В - 20⁰ ю.ш

Километры надо разделить на 111 (1⁰ меридиана равен 111 км на местности)

Answer 2

Calculation of Latitude for Points A and B

To determine the latitude of points A and B, we need to consider their positions relative to the equator and the distances provided.

Given the information provided: - Point A is located to the north of the equator at a distance of 6666 km. - Point B is located to the south of point A at a distance of 2222 km.

To calculate the latitude, we can use the fact that 1 degree of latitude is approximately equal to 111.1 km.

Let's calculate the latitude for each point:

1. Latitude of Point A: - Point A is located to the north of the equator, so the latitude will be positive. - The distance from the equator to Point A is 6666 km. - Using the conversion factor of 111.1 km per degree of latitude, we can calculate the latitude: - Latitude of Point A = 6666 km / 111.1 km per degree = 60 degrees north.

2. Latitude of Point B: - Point B is located to the south of Point A, so the latitude will be negative. - The distance from Point A to Point B is 2222 km. - Using the conversion factor of 111.1 km per degree of latitude, we can calculate the latitude: - Latitude of Point B = -2222 km / 111.1 km per degree = -20 degrees south.

Therefore, the latitude of Point A is 60 degrees north and the latitude of Point B is 20 degrees south.

Please note that the calculations provided are based on the information given and the assumption that the distances are measured along the Earth's surface.
