-Find the distance between City A, 34° N and City B, 37° N. (Round to the nearest kilometer.)
A)301 km
B)406 km
C)335 km
D)372 km

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two latitudes can be calculated using the formula: distance = π/180 * radius * difference in latitude in degrees. Here, the difference in latitude is 37° - 34° = 3°. Substituting the values, distance = π/180 * 6400 km * 3° ≈ 335 km.
