Next message: by way of Journey North: "Challenge Question #6"
Hello again~
Challenge Question #7:
?How far did Cupid travel between 01/26/03 and 02/09/03? How did you calculate
the distance??
Answer:
Distance between 65:22:00N 138:42:00E and 65:55:00N 138:27:00E, as the crow
flies:
39 miles (62 km) (34 nautical miles)
Initial heading from 65:22:00N 138:42:00E to 65:55:00N 138:27:00E:
north (349.5 degrees)
Initial heading from 65:55:00N 138:27:00E to 65:22:00N 138:42:00E:
south (169.3 degrees)
65:22:00N 138:42:00E
Location: 65:22:00N 138:42:00E
65:55:00N 138:27:00E
Location: 65:55:00N 138:27:00E
I calculated this problem by using the steps that were on the web site. I
changed the Degrees Decimal into Degress Minutes. Then i plugged those numbers
into the website that was offered to calculate the distance. Cupid traveled 39
miles.
