Please help i dont get thissss!!!

Moscow, the capital city of Russia, is at 37.62 degrees longitude and 55.75 degrees latitude. Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil, is at -47.87 degrees longitude and -15.8 degrees latitude.


Write an expression to find the distance (in degrees) between the longitude lines of Moscow and Brasilia. Use absolute value in your expression.

Answer 1

37.62 degrees + 47.87 degrees = 85.49 degrees

Explanation:

For this question we are trying to find the "absolute value" between these 2 numbers, because one of the numbers are negative and the other one is positive, we are going to add both of them together. That is how we got 85.49. In a different equation, we might have done something different.
