Question
The map shows the different measurements between each city.

Transcribed Image Text:2a) Similarly, if you left Chicago, travelling perfectly South you would eventually reach the
dotted line which is perfectly East of Dallas. How long is this journey? (Add to the image above
to help explain your calculation.)

Transcribed Image Text:According to the provided map, Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21° West of North from Atlanta. Also,
Atlanta is 730 miles from Dallas if you travel 5° North of East. We will be modeling the Earth as flat for
this exercise.

Expert Solution

Step 1
Given:-
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas
The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta.
Find:-
Similarly, if you left Chicago, travelling perfectly South you would eventually reach the dotted line which is perfectly East of Dallas. How long is this journey?
