9. A solar observation is made in the afternoon and the following quantities have been determined: N14°05' - latitude of place of observation (1) 40°32' - true latitude of sun (h) N07°23' - sun's apparent declination (d) The instrument is set up at point A and mark is sighted at point B. If the measured horizontal clockwise angle from the line to the sun were recorded as follows: 222°08', 222°12', 222°09', 222°13', 222°16', and 222°20', determine the following: a. the sun's azimuth from north
