Question

If you are 45 degrees south of the equator which of the following MUST be true

1. Your longitude is 45 degrees East
2. You are in the Western Hemisphere
3. You are in the tropics
4. Your latitude is 45 degrees south

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4. Your latitude is 45 degrees south

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equator line is considered to be a reference that divides the planet into North and South. Due to this, the Equator line represents 0° in terms of latitude (location of places North or South). In this context, if you are 45° South the equator this means in terms of latitude your location is 45°. Also, at 45° South, you are exactly at the middle point between the Equator line and the Pole, which is considered to be at 90° South. According to this, option 4 is correct.
