Question
What is the distance from Point "A" to Point "B" (in nautical miles) on the bathymetry map of Willemsen Island in Figure 7? Hint: Use
the minute bar of latitude on the side of the map as distance bar scale, noting that 1 minute of latitude is equal to one nautical mile.
Measure the length between A and B on the map with a ruler. Then measure that same length along the latitude minute bar. How ever
many total minutes are included in that measured length along the minute bar is the number of nautical miles in map distance between A
and B.
