ECZ 2010 · O-Level Paper 1 — Earth Geometry

Two towns P and Q lie on latitude 43° north. P is on longitude 23° west while Q is on longitude x degrees east. If the difference in longitude between P and Q is 63°, state the value of x.

  • A. 40
  • B. 20
  • C. 86
  • D. 63

Verified working — step 1

P is west and Q is east, so the longitudes add: 23 + x = 63, giving x = …
