The answer to d question
answer to d question
answer to the question
A student
I live in Lagos
I live in Lagos
For ilorin,we will use I
While for Freetown,we will use F
e.i I(lat8.5°N,long 46°E)
F(lat 8.5°N,long 13.3°W )
A.difference in longitude/360X2πRcoslantitude
46+13.3/360 X2X3.142XCos 8.5°N
1.024Km

1.024Km
B.distance from the equator
Formula is ;lant X69
=Lant 8.5X69=586.5mile or metre
C. Speed in Km/ sec
=2πRCoslantitude/24 hrs
2X 3.142 X6400 XCos 8.5
=39.78Km /sec
