Question

Geometry (clue: use geometry of circles, not a map or globe, in figuring these out - the diagrams below are only to help you think geometrically): List the latitude and longitude coordinates (global position) for a point on earth, this point is halfway between the Equator and North Pole, and one-third of the way around the world eastward from Greenwich. Pinpoint the global position for the spot where you would be if you were exactly half-way (180 degree) around the world from Duluth, which lies at 47 degree N and 92 degree W. Clue: you need to do latitude and longitude separately. The USA's northern boundary (excluding Alaska and Minnesota's "Chimney") is 49 degree N Latitude. The "Southernmost Point" in the U.S. (in Key West) is at 24 degree 30' N. The question - how tall in miles is the continental USA?
