Question

How Far Will You Travel? Worksheet PRECALCULUS: VECTORS Directions: Suppose that you plan to take a trip to your dream destination. You would like to know the shortest distance between your starting point and your destination. When calculating distances on a plane, you need only consider two dimensions because you are on a flat surface. However, when finding distances between two points on Earth, you must take into the account the curvature of a sphere. In this portfolio, you will extend your knowledge of two-dimensional vectors to three-dimensional vectors in order to find the shortest distance between two points on the surface of Earth. Part 1 Choose your starting location and a dream destination location and find the latitude and longitude for each. • Round to four decimal places. • Use a negative sign for southern latitudes and/or western longitudes, and use a positive sign for northern latitudes and/or eastern longitudes. Name of Location Latitude Longitude Cite your source where you found the latitude and longitude for both locations:

00:01 In this video, it looks like we're doing part one of a worksheet on determining location using vectors or determining distances between locations, two locations using vectors.

00:12 Okay, so it looks like we're going to find the latitudes and longitudes of two locations on earth and then we're going to use vectors to find the distances between these two locations.

00:23 Okay, but in this example, we're just doing the first part.

00:26 So what we're going to be doing is choosing two locations.

00:29 So what i'm doing is choosing my home location where i'm located now and a place i'd like to go on vacation.

00:36 Okay, then i'm going to find the latitude and longitude of each and cite the sources i use to find the latitude and longitude information.

00:44 So first, let's make a little chart.

00:46 Okay, so i'm going to have the name of where i'm starting.

00:54 I'm going to have my latitude and longitude for two locations on earth.

01:00 Okay, i live in vermont, so that's going to be my first location.

01:07 Now i need to choose a place to go.

01:10 So i would like to visit, let's see, for vacation, i would like to go to barcelona.

01:21 So that will be my second location.

01:24 Okay, okay, so i'm going to have the name of my location, name, location, and then we're going to have latitude and longitude.

01:45 So that's right in the middle...
