You can put this solution on YOUR website! The latitude of Princeton, New Jersey, is 40.5 degrees north of the equator. How far is it from Princeton to the equator if the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles?
----------------
circumference of the earth is pi(d)=7920pi miles
---------
distance you want is (40.5/360)(7920pi)
=2799.159 miles
