Find the difference of latitude (Dlat) at a distance of 544 Nm. Write your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the difference of latitude at a given distance, we can use the formula:
Dlat = ( distance / 60 ) * cos(latitude)
where distance is in nautical miles, latitude is in degrees, and Dlat is the difference of latitude.
Let's assume the latitude is 45 degrees (roughly the latitude of Portland, Oregon). Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Dlat = ( 544 / 60 ) * cos(45)
Dlat ≈ 9.07
Therefore, the difference of latitude at a distance of 544 Nm is approximately 9.07 degrees.
