Question
Consider the following statements regarding latitudes and longitudes?1. Longitudes are angular distance of a place from the equator.2. Latitudes are angular distance of a place from the prime meridian.Choose the incorrect statement(s)? Only 1 Only 2 Both 1 and 2 None of the above
Solution
The incorrect statement is "Both 1 and 2".
Here's why:
-
Longitudes are not the angular distance of a place from the equator. Instead, they are the angular distance of a place east or west of the Prime Meridian.
-
Latitudes are not the angular distance of a place from the Prime Meridian. Instead, they are the angular distance of a place north or south of the equator.
So, both statements are incorrect.
