Question Number 24100 by tawa tawa last updated on 12/Nov/17

The distance between point  P(lat 65°S,  long 25°E) and Q(lat 65°S, long X)  on the earth surface along the parallel of latitute is  2502.5 km. If  π = ((22)/2)  and earth radius is  6370 km, find the two possible values of x.

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{distance}\:\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{point}\:\:\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{lat}\:\mathrm{65}°\mathrm{S},\:\:\mathrm{long}\:\mathrm{25}°\mathrm{E}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{Q}\left(\mathrm{lat}\:\mathrm{65}°\mathrm{S},\:\mathrm{long}\:\mathrm{X}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{on}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{earth}\:\mathrm{surface}\:\mathrm{along}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{parallel}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{latitute}\:\mathrm{is}\:\:\mathrm{2502}.\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{km}.\:\mathrm{If}\:\:\pi\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{22}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{earth}\:\mathrm{radius}\:\mathrm{is}\:\:\mathrm{6370}\:\mathrm{km},\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{possible}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{x}. \\ $$
