ECZ 2017 · GCE Paper 1 — Earth Geometry

A soccer match kicked off at 14 00 hours at A(20°N, 30°E). What would be the kick off time of the soccer match at B(20°N, 15°W)?

  • A. 17 00 hours
  • B. 13 00 hours
  • C. 11 00 hours
  • D. 11 45 hours

Verified working — step 1

A and B sit on OPPOSITE sides of the Greenwich meridian, so their longitudes add - then 15° is 1 hour, and WEST means BEHIND.

The full step-by-step working and final answer, plus the video lesson for this topic, are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
