Solution.
Q 1.7 What is the latitude at (A) the north pole? (B) The south pole? -
(correct answer) -90*N and 90*S
Q 1.8 What do you imagine is the maximum longitude value on earth? -
(correct answer) -180* (180*W or 180*E. They are equal)
Q 1.10 Given a scale of 1:24,000: (A) What is the ground distance in feet
represented by three inches on the map? (B) What is the ground distance
in meters represented by 5 cm on the map? (C) How about the ground
distance in kilometers represented by 5 cm on the map? - (correct answer)
-A 6,000
B 1,200
C 1.2
Q 1.11 What happens to the usefulness of (A) the fractional scale, and (B)
the graphic scale, as you enlarge your map? - (correct answer) -(A) The
fractional scale is no longer applicable and (B) the graphic scale continues
to be applicable because it changes in size along with the map
Q 1.18B (B) What is the longitude? - (correct answer) -112* 00' W

(correct answer) -5,619 feet
Q 1.21 What is the fractional scale on this quad? - (correct answer) -
1:24,000
Q 1.22 Judging from the fractional scale, what size quad do you suppose
Menan Buttes Quadrangle is? - (correct answer) -7 1/2-minute
Q 1.23 There's a benchmark (BM) marked with elevation 4826 feet along
the Union Pacific Railroad. What is the distance, to the nearest tenth of a
mile, between the BM and the X marking the approximate center of South
Menan Butte? - (correct answer) -1.4 miles
Q 1.24 How far- to the nearest tenth of a kilometer- is the well in section
11 from the southwest corner of section 10? - (correct answer) -1.8
