To find the results of the following two questions, estimate the distance travelled in km by using the following relationships: 96km = 1 degree of longitude; 111 km = 1 degree of latitude. (hint you will need to use pythagorean theorem)
September 18th, 12:00; Latitude(N)= 17.2, Longitude(W)=73.7
September 19th 12:00; Latitude (N)=18.8, Longitude(W)=75.8
a) How far in km did the hurricane travel from 12:00 september 18th to 12:00 september 19th. Show your work and round to the nearest tenth of a km.
b) How fast was the hurricane travelling in km/h from 12:00 september 18th to 12:00 september 19th. Show your work and round to the nearest tenth of a km.
