🔍 Key Concepts

• Meridional parts represent a north–south distance on a Mercator chart, related to the change in latitude • At the equator, the scale of latitude and longitude are the same (1 minute of latitude = 1 minute of longitude) • Meridional parts are often treated in minutes of arc, which can be converted to degrees, minutes, and seconds

💭 Think About

• What does the table of meridional parts give you for 46° latitude, and how does that relate to the given 3099 meridional parts? • If meridional parts are effectively in minutes, how would you convert 3099 of them into degrees of longitude at the equator? • Does your final longitude value make sense when you compare it with typical values you’d expect between 0° and 90°?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how many minutes of arc are in one degree of longitude at the equator • Treat 3099 meridional parts as a value you can convert into degrees–minutes–seconds of longitude • Check that your result falls between 0° and 90° and that the arithmetic with 60 (and possibly with 60 again) is correct
