Answer:

About 42° North latitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitudes are defined as the lines that oriented in the east-west direction and they are parallel to the equator.

The 3 cities of the United States namely Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut are on its eastern side The city of Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts are situated at about (41.60° N and 73.09° W), (40.71° N and 74.01° W) and (42.41° N and 71.33° W) respectively.

These 3 cities are located adjacent to one another and they share a common point at a longitude of about 42° in the Northern hemisphere.

Thus, the above cities meet at about 42° N latitude.
