Show the answer
Correct answer: d) lo = 43º 57.9’ N
Why it is correct
z = 27º 35.0′. l = 16º 22.9′ + 27º 35.0′ = 43º 57.9′ N.
Why the others are not
- a) It does not match the working.
- b) It does not match the working.
- c) It does not match the working.
How to work it out in the exam
- z = 90º − a.
- Facing south: l = d + z, with south d negative. Facing north: l = d − z.
