Response
Problem 1:

Step1: Convert minutes and seconds to degrees for latitude

To convert \( 39^\circ 47' 28.2012'' \) N to decimal degrees:

  • First, convert minutes to degrees: \( 47' = \frac{47}{60} \approx 0.7833^\circ \)
  • Then, convert seconds to degrees: \( 28.2012'' = \frac{28.2012}{3600} \approx 0.0078337^\circ \)
  • Add to the degrees: \( 39 + 0.7833 + 0.0078337 \approx 39.7911337^\circ \) N

Step2: Convert minutes and seconds to degrees for longitude

For \( 86^\circ 0' 0.9504'' \) W:

  • Minutes: \( 0' = 0^\circ \)
  • Seconds: \( 0.9504'' = \frac{0.9504}{3600} \approx 0.000264^\circ \)
  • Add to the degrees: \( 86 + 0 + 0.000264 \approx 86.000264^\circ \) W

Step3: Find the location

Typing \( 39.7911^\circ \) N, \( 86.0003^\circ \) W into Google Maps gives a location near Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (more precisely, near the coordinates calculated, it's in Indianapolis area).

Step1: Convert latitude to decimal

For \( 40^\circ 41' 21.2892'' \) N:

  • Minutes to degrees: \( 41' = \frac{41}{60} \approx 0.6833^\circ \)
  • Seconds to degrees: \( 21.2892'' = \frac{21.2892}{3600} \approx 0.0059137^\circ \)
  • Total latitude: \( 40 + 0.6833 + 0.0059137 \approx 40.6892137^\circ \) N

Step2: Convert longitude to decimal

For \( 74^\circ 2' 40.2072'' \) W:

  • Minutes to degrees: \( 2' = \frac{2}{60} \approx 0.0333^\circ \)
  • Seconds to degrees: \( 40.2072'' = \frac{40.2072}{3600} \approx 0.0111687^\circ \)
  • Total longitude: \( 74 + 0.0333 + 0.0111687 \approx 74.0444687^\circ \) W

Step3: Find the location

Typing \( 40.6892^\circ \) N, \( 74.0445^\circ \) W into Google Maps gives New York City, New York, USA (specifically near the coordinates, it's in NYC area).

Step1: Convert latitude to decimal

For \( 29^\circ 58' 45.948'' \) N:

  • Minutes: \( 58' = \frac{58}{60} \approx 0.9667^\circ \)
  • Seconds: \( 45.948'' = \frac{45.948}{3600} \approx 0.012763^\circ \)
  • Total latitude: \( 29 + 0.9667 + 0.012763 \approx 29.979463^\circ \) N

Step2: Convert longitude to decimal

For \( 31^\circ 8' 3.228'' \) E:

  • Minutes: \( 8' = \frac{8}{60} \approx 0.1333^\circ \)
  • Seconds: \( 3.228'' = \frac{3.228}{3600} \approx 0.0008967^\circ \)
  • Total longitude: \( 31 + 0.1333 + 0.0008967 \approx 31.1341967^\circ \) E

Step3: Find the location

Typing \( 29.9795^\circ \) N, \( 31.1342^\circ \) E into Google Maps gives a location near Giza, Egypt (specifically near the Great Pyramids of Giza, as the coordinates are close to Giza).

Answer:

Latitude: \( 39.7911^\circ \) N, Longitude: \( 86.0003^\circ \) W
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (approximate)
