Show the answer
Correct answer: a) lo=40º32.5’ N
Why it is correct
z = 17º 18.9′. l = 23º 13.5′ + 17º 18.9′ = 40º 32.4′ N, and the nearest option is 40º 32.5′.
Why the others are not
- b) It does not match the working.
- c) It does not match the working.
- d) 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.
