Answer:

The latitude at which the Polaris is observed at an "altitude of 66.5 degrees" is 66.5 degrees north latitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Polaris, which is called the "North Star", can be observed from any point between the Equator and the North Pole.
  • The "altitude of the North Star" visible from the point that you are standing at is apparently the degree measurement of the latitude.
  • Thus, the latitude and the altitude of the Polaris are corresponding to each other.
