a. \(\text{Lima}\)
b. \(48^{\circ}\)
c. \(217^{\circ}\)
a. \(\text{Tokyo is at longitude }140^{\circ}\text{E} \)
\(\text{Lima is at longitude }77^{\circ}\text{W} \)
\(\text{Since 77° < 140°, Lima is closer to the Prime Meridian.}\)
b. \(\text{Latitude of Tokyo}=36^{\circ}\text{N}\)
\(\text{Latitude of Lima}=12^{\circ}\text{S}\)
\(\text{Since cities on opposite sides of the equator, add the latitudes.}\)
\(\text{Difference in latitude}=36^{\circ}+12^{\circ}=48^{\circ} \)
c. \(\text{Longitude of Tokyo}=140^{\circ}\text{E}\)
\(\text{Longitude of Lima}=77^{\circ}\text{W}\)
\(\text{Since cities on opposite sides of the Prime Meridian, add the longitudes.}\)
\(\text{Difference in longitude}=140^{\circ}+77^{\circ}=217^{\circ} \)
