City P is at latitude \( 42^{\circ}\text{N} \) and longitude \( 88^{\circ}\text{W} \). City Q is \( 56^{\circ} \) south of City P and \( 47^{\circ} \) west of City P.

What are the latitude and longitude of City Q?

  1. \( 14^{\circ}\text{N} \), \( 41^{\circ}\text{W} \)
  2. \( 14^{\circ}\text{S} \), \( 135^{\circ}\text{W} \)
  3. \( 14^{\circ}\text{S} \), \( 41^{\circ}\text{W} \)
  4. \( 98^{\circ}\text{N} \), \( 135^{\circ}\text{W} \)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Latitude of City Q}=56^{\circ}-42^{\circ}=14^{\circ}\text{S}\)

\(\text{Longitude of City Q}=88^{\circ}+47^{\circ}=135^{\circ}\text{W}\)

\(\Rightarrow B\)
