Question: The latitude of a city is 24\deg N, and the latitude of the north end of a canal is 8\deg N. Both are at a longitude of 73\deg W. What is the distance between the city and the canal? Explain how the angle used in the solution is found. The radius of the earth is 3960mi. The distance between the city and the canal is about mi. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) How is the angle used in the solution found? A. Since the latitude of one location is in the earth's southern hemisphere and the latitude of the other location is in the earth's northern hemisphere, the central angle is found by adding the angles of latitude. B. Since the latitudes of both locations are in the earth's southern hemisphere, the central angle is found by subtracting the lesser angle of latitude from the greater. C. Since the latitudes of both locations are in the earth's northern hemisphere, the central angle is found by subtracting the lesser angle of latitude from the greater.
