Answer:
Option A - 28.47° latitude and 7.35° longitude
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A helicopter is flying from Hong Kong to Jakarta. The latitude of Jakarta is -6.20°, and its longitude is 106.80°. The latitude of Hong Kong is 22.27°, and its longitude is 114.15°.
To find : What is the helicopter’s net change in latitude and longitude as it travels from Hong Kong to Jakarta?
Solution :
The latitude of Jakarta is -6.20°, and its longitude is 106.80°.
The latitude of Hong Kong is 22.27°, and its longitude is 114.15°.
The net change in latitude as it travels from Hong Kong to Jakarta is given by subtracting the latitude from Hong Kong to Jakarta.
i.e. \(N_l=22.27^\circ-(-6.20^\circ)\)
\(N_l=22.27^\circ+6.20^\circ\)
\(N_l=28.47^\circ\)
The net change in longitude as it travels from Hong Kong to Jakarta is given by subtracting the longitude from Hong Kong to Jakarta.
i.e. \(N_l=114.15^\circ-(106.80^\circ)\)
\(N_l=114.15^\circ-106.80^\circ\)
\(N_l=7.35^\circ\)
Therefore, The net change from Hong Kong to Jakarta is 28.47° latitude and 7.35° longitude.
So, Option A is correct.
