Question
Consider the following hypothetical: It will be necessary to carry out a study on the effects of global warming on the Antarctic continent. For this, a large area will be demarcated, limited by three spherical arcs, corresponding to two longitudes and a latitude, having three vertices: A, B and C. Data: Vertex A is located exactly in the center of the South Pole. Vertex B has the following geodetic coordinates: Latitude = 70° graus South, longitude = 135° graus East. Assume that the terrestrial firm (geoid) is perfectly spherical and has an average radius of 6,370.00 km. What are the geodetic coordinates, em graus, of vertex C, which is to the east?
