Claire is on a business trip. She'll be traveling from Liverpool, England, to Melbourne, Australia. The latitude value of Liverpool is 53.41 degrees, and the longitude value is -2.99 degrees. The latitude value of Melbourne is -37.81 degrees, and the longitude value is 144.96 degrees. The two cities are degrees apart in latitude. The two cities are degrees apart in longitude.
Answer:
the difference in latitude is 91.22°
the difference in longitude is 147.95°
Explanation:
For Liverpool, London. The latitude is 53.41°, longitude is -2.99°
For Melbourne, Australia. The latitude is -37.81°, longitude is 144.96°
The negative or positive magnitude of their values shows their position on either sides of the origin of the latitude (equator) and the origin of the longitude (prime meridian).
The latitude measures the relative position of a point, north or south of the equator (latitude 0°). The longitude measures the relative position, east or west of the prime meridian (longitude 0°)
the difference in latitude is 53.41° - (-37.81°) = 53.41° + 37.81° = 91.22°
the difference in longitude = 144.96° - (-2.99°) = 144.96 + 2.99 = 147.95°
Answer:
The change in latitude, Δφ, from Liverpool to Melbourne is 91.22° south
The change in longitude, Δλ, from Liverpool to Melbourne is 147.95° East
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
The latitude of Liverpool is 53.41°
The longitude of Liverpool is -2.99°
The latitude of Melbourne is -37.81°
The longitude of Melbourne is 144.96°
The change in latitude from Liverpool to Melbourne = Δφ
Δφ = 53.41° - (-37.81°) = 53.41° + 37.81° = 91.22°
The change in latitude, Δφ, from Liverpool to Melbourne = 91.22° south
The change in longitude from Liverpool to Melbourne = Δλ
Δλ = -2.99° - 144.96° = -147.95°
Therefore the change in longitude from Liverpool to Melbourne = 147.95° East.

Read the excerpt from Takoda's narrative.
The start of school on the reservation was always hectic. I couldn't hear myself think above the talking and laughing, and it didn't seem like any of us were ready to trade our summers for book reports and math worksheets. What started as a chorus of whispers from desk to desk cranked up to almost a roar, with no teacher in sight. When the door opened, all conversation stopped. A tall, bearded man strode into the room and slapped a lesson planner onto his desk. The entire class sucked in their breath, and I could hardly believe my eyes. It was my uncle Mahkah.
Which elements of a personal narrative would make the most sense for Takoda to include next? Select two options.
O a resolution of the conflict with Uncle Mahkah
O some dialogue that helps to develop the character of Uncle Mahkah
O a climax with a confrontation between Takoda and Uncle Mahkah
O a flashback to a previous interaction between Takoda and Uncle Mahkah
O an introduction describing the title of Takoda and Uncle Mahkah

Who is Nicholas II?Nicholas II, known in the Russian Orthodox Church as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer, was the last Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917.
During his reign, Nicholas ll gave support to the economic and political reforms promoted by his prime ministers, Sergei Witte and Pyotr Stolypin. He advocated modernization based on foreign loans and close ties with France but resisted giving the new parliament major roles. Ultimately, progress was undermined by Nicholas's commitment to autocratic rule, strong aristocratic opposition and defeats sustained by the Russian military in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.
By March 1917, public support for Nicholas had collapsed and he was forced to abdicate the throne, thereby ending the Romanov dynasty's 304-year rule of Russia.
