The wisemen from the east journeyed to Jerusalem to offer gifts and worship the baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem. They were inspired by a star in the east. Below maps their journey to the new born King: A = 6 km, 50° North of West B = 4 km, 20° North of West C = 4 km, 30° North of East D = 7 km, 60° North of East E = 7 km, 60° South of East F = 4 km, 30° South of East G = 4 km, 20° South of West %3D Find the resultant displacement using polygon and component methods.

Right Ascension and Declination is a coordinate system for objects in the sky, and is analogous to longitude and latitude coordinates, respectively, for objects on Earth. Right ascension (RA) coordinates are given in hours (h), minutes (m), and seconds (s). Declination (DEC) coordinates are given in degrees (°), arcminutes ('), and arcseconds ("). Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Its RA and DEC coordinates are 6h 45 m 7.96 s and -16° 44' 78.6". Using unit conversion, find the RA coordinate only in hours and round the coordinate to 5 significant figures.
An airplane flies 200 km due west from city A to city B and then 325 km in the direction of 28.5° north of west from city B to city C. (a) In straight-line distance, how far is city C from city A? km (b) Relative to city A, in what direction is city C? north of west (c) Why is the answer only approximately correct?
An air traffic controller notices two signals from two planes on the radar monitor. One plane is at altitude 1104 m and a 11.6-km horizontal distance to the tower in a direction 30.6° south of west. The second plane is at altitude of 5420 m and its horizontal distance is 8.8 km directed 23.8° south of west. What is the distance between these planes in kilometers?

If city is located in 2.8° north latitude and 46.0° east longitude. From there, you want to fly to a city in 7° north latitude and 52° east longitude. How much is the arc length of the big circle at 11000 m when the earth's radius is 6370 km? The arc length is 14223 km. Give your answer rounded to one kilmetre. Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 14223 XAnswer is incorrect. Keep centre of Earth as origin and define vectors to cities. Try again.
