Question

- Rose live in Olympia, Washington, which has latitude-longitude coordinates of (47.03°N, 122.53°W) and herfriend lives in Savannah, Georgia, with coordinates of (32.5°N, 81.6°W). They plan to meet halfway between thetwo cities. Find the coordinates of the midpoint. SHOW ALL WORK!!!

Answer 1

(39.77°N, 102.07°W)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Rose' coordinates as (47.03°N, 122.53°W) and her friend's coordinates as (32.5°N, 81.6°W), to determine the coordinates of the midpoint we have to add together the x and y coordinates respectively and divide the results by 2.

x-coordinate of the midpoint will be;

`(47.03+32.5)/(2)=(79.53)/(2)=39.77^(\circ)N`

y-coordinate of the midpoint;

`(122.53+81.6)/(2)=(204.13)/(2)=102.07^(\circ)W`
