32. Trenton, New Jersey (40.2°N, 74.8°W), is located north of the equator, and Ayacucho, Peru (13.2°S, 74.2°W), is located south of the equator. The longitudes are nearly the same, indicating that the cities are roughly due north-south of each other. Use the difference in latitude to approximate the distance between the cities.
