Question

how many parallels of latitude can be drawn on the globe at an interval of 10 minutes?
a.1078
b.1079
c.1080
d.1081

Answer 1

There are 9 parallels of latitude drawn at a gap of 10 degrees on each hemisphere of the earth.

Hence, there are total 18 parallels of latitude on Northern and Southern hemisphere, with the interval of 10 degrees.

Now, there are 60 minutes in 1 degree.

Therefore, it is calculated that the total number of parallels of latitude drawn at an interval of 10 minutes is 18 x 60 = 1080. So the third option is the right answer here.

Answer 2

Hence, there are total 18 parallels of latitude on Northern and Southern hemisphere, with the interval of 10 degrees. Now, there are 60 minutes in 1 degree. Therefore, it is calculated that the total number of parallels of latitude drawn at an interval of 10 minutes is 18 x 60 = 1080.

answer=c
