: pony express stations were about 10 miles apart. the latitude - longitude coordinates of two former stations in western nevada are (39.2 N, 119.0 W) and ( 39.2 N, 118.5 W). find the coordinates of the station that was halfway between them. This question is from textbook algebra 1
You can put this solution on YOUR website! pony express stations were about 10 miles apart. the latitude - longitude coordinates of two former stations in western nevada are (39.2 N, 119.0 W) and ( 39.2 N, 118.5 W). find the coordinates of the station that was halfway between them.
:
The stations are located on the same latitude (39.2N), therefore
find the no. of degrees between the longitudes
119.0
118.5
------
000.5 divide by 2 = .25 degrees
118.5 + .25 = 118.75 degrees
:
39.2N, 118.75W is the coordinates of the station in between
