How to Calculate and Solve for Same Latitude – Same Sides of the Prime Meridian | Latitude and Longitude

To calculate the same latitude – same sides of the prime meridian, two essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are the value of A and the value of B.

The formula for calculating the same latitude – same sides of the prime meridian:

θ = B° – A°

Where;

θ = Angular difference
B = Value of B
A = Value of A

Let’s solve an example;
Find the angular difference when the value of B is 11 and the value of A is 9.

This implies that;

B = Value of B = 11
A = Value of A = 9

That is, θ = B° – A°
θ = 11° – 9°
θ = 2°

Therefore, the angular difference is 2°.

Calculating the Value of A when the Angular Difference and the Value of B are Given

A = B – θ

Where;

A = Value of A
θ = Angular Difference
B = Value of B

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the value of B is 12 and the angular difference is 20. Find the value of A?

This implies that;

θ = Angular Difference = 20
B = Value of B = 12

So, A = B – θ
A = 12° – 20°
A = – 8°

Therefore, the value of A is – 8°.

Calculating the Value of B when the Value of A and Angular Difference are Given

B = θ + A

Where;

B = Value of B
θ = Angular Difference
A = Value of A

Let’s solve an example;
Find the value of B when the angular difference is 32 and the value of A is 8.

This implies that;

θ = Angular Difference = 32
A = Value of A = 8

B = θ + A
So, B = 32° + 8°
B = 40°

Therefore, the value of B is 40°.
