Question

The coordinates of kolkata is 22.6 degrees N , and 88.4 degrees E. And the coordinates of Banglore is 13 degrees N, 77.5 degrees E.
Find the distance between Banglore and Kolkata. ( Note: Consider the length of the latitude between two longitudes of 1 degree apart is 110 Km and length of longitude between by two latitudes of 1 degree apart is 104 Km.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between Banglore and Kolkata would be 1560.25 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of Kolkata is 22.6 degrees N, and 88.4 degrees E.

Given coordinates of Banglore is 13 degrees N, and 77.5 degrees E.

Length of Longitudes between both cities are equal.

(Distance in latitude) × (length of longitude between latitudes differing by 1°)

= (22.6 - 13) × (104)

= 998.4 km

Length of latitudes  between two cities is equal.

(Difference in longitude) × (length of latitude between longitude differing by 1°)

= (88.4 - 77.5) × 110

= 1199 km

By Pythagoras Theorem

AC² = AB² + BC²

$AC=\sqrt{(998.4)^{2}+(1199)^{2}}$

      = 1560.25 km

Distance between Banglore and Kolkata would be 1560.25 km.
