CSEC Mathematics · May/June 2008 · Paper 2 · Question 12(b)(ii)

The diagram below, not drawn to scale, shows a sketch of the earth with the North and South poles labelled N and S respectively. Arcs representing the Greenwich Meridian and the circles of longitude, 25°W and 40°E, are also shown.

On your diagram, show the points a) R (60°N, 25°W) b) T (60°N, 40°E).

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
