a. \(\text{Bangkok}\)
b. \(32^{\circ}\)
c. \(174^{\circ}\)
a. \(\text{Bangkok is at latitude }14^{\circ}\text{N} \)
\(\text{Montreal is at latitude }46^{\circ}\text{N} \)
\(\text{Since 14° < 46°, Bangkok is closer to the Equator.}\)
b. \(\text{Latitude of Bangkok}=14^{\circ}\text{N}\)
\(\text{Latitude of Montreal}=46^{\circ}\text{N}\)
\(\text{Since cities are both in the northern hemisphere, subtract the latitudes.}\)
\(\text{Difference in latitude}=46^{\circ}-14^{\circ}=32^{\circ} \)
c. \(\text{Longitude of Bangkok}=100^{\circ}\text{E}\)
\(\text{Longitude of Montreal}=74^{\circ}\text{W}\)
\(\text{Since cities on opposite sides of the Prime Meridian, add the longitudes.}\)
\(\text{Difference in longitude}=100^{\circ}+74^{\circ}=174^{\circ} \)
