Question

Approximately how many miles does the Indian Ocean stretch from the southernmost point of Africa to the southernmost point of Australia

Answer 1

10,098 km or 6274.6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the distance from the southernmost point of Africa, which is South Africa, and the southernmost point of Australia, which is Tasmania Island.

Answer 2

The answer is - 6073.56 miles.

The southernmost point of Africa is Agulhas in the Republic of South Africa, while the southernmost point of Australia is South Point, on the island of Tasmania. The distance between the southernmost points of the two places is 6073.56 miles in air distance, which gives us the width of the Indian Ocean between them as well.
