Claire is on a business trip. She’ll be traveling from Toronto, Canada, to Melbourne, Australia. The latitude value of Toronto is 43.70 degrees, and the longitude value is -79.40 degrees. The latitude value of Melbourne is -37.81 degrees, and the longitude value is 144.96 degrees. The two cities are degrees apart in latitude. The two cities are degrees apart in longitude.

Answer 1

Answer: The two cities are 81.51 degrees apart in latitude and 224.36 degrees apart in longitude.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Latitude value of Toronto = 43.70 degrees

Latitude value of Melbourne = -37.81 degrees

So, the two cities are apart in latitude by

`43.70-(-37.81)\\\\=43.70+37.81\\\\=81.51\ degrees`

Longitude value of Melbourne =144.96 degrees

Longitude value of Toronto = -79.40 degrees

And the two cities are apart in longitude by

`144.96-(-79.40)\\\\=144.96+79.40\\\\=224.36\ degrees`

Hence, the two cities are 81.51 degrees apart in latitude and 224.36 degrees apart in longitude.
