Let's find the distance between two points A and B, where A is located at 6° North latitude and B is located at 12° North latitude.
Solution:
We can use the formula for calculating the distance between two points on Earth based on their latitudes:
Distance = Earth's radius * arc length
where:
Earth's radius ≈ 6,371 kilometers
Arc length = angular difference between the latitudes * π/180 degrees
Steps to solve:
Calculate the angular difference between the latitudes:
Angular difference = 12° - 6° = 6°
Convert the angular difference to radians:
Arc length = 6° * π/180° ≈ 0.1047 radians
Calculate the distance using the formula:
Distance ≈ 6,371 km * 0.1047 radians ≈ 666 km
Therefore, the distance between points A and B is approximately 666 kilometers.
Answer:
Option C: 666km is the correct answer.
