The table also shows that the linear distance separating each 1° of longitude decreases toward the poles. For example, at 30° latitude each degree of longitude is separated by slightly more than 96 km (nearly 60 miles), and at 60° latitude, the linear distance is reduced to approximately half that at the equator. For each of the following latitudes, determine the linear distance in kilometers and in miles for 15° of longitudinal arc (along a parallel):



a) 30° latitude
b) 40° latitude
c) 50° latitude
d) 60° latitude
