Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance between Pittsburgh and Miami is 1672.05 m

Explanation:

We have given that Pittsburgh has a latitude of 40.5°N

And Miami is at 25.5°N

Radius of earth R=3960 miles

Circumference of earth [tex]40129.2[/tex]

Difference between latitudes of Pittsburgh and Miami = 40.5°-25.5° =15°

We know that 360°= total circumference

So 15° = [tex]\frac{15}{360}\times 40129.2=1672.05meter[/tex]

So distance between Pittsburgh and Miami is 1672.05 m
