Dec: S 17° 33.7' to 17° 33.7 (negative when opp. name to lat) LHA: 334⁰ to -334° (negative if greater than 180°)
tan z = _________sin (-334⁰) ____________
[cos (20°) x tan(-17° 33.7')-sin(20°) x cos(334°)]
tan z=0.72481772332 z=-35.935265766 15+180 z=144.064734 23385 Zn = 144 since LHA > 180°
Solution for Computed Altitude or HC
sin h = sin Lat x sin d + cos Lat x cos d x cos LHA sin h= sin (20 ) x sin (-17.561 66667) + cos (20 ) x cos (-17.56160667) x cos (- 334) sin h=0.702027657
h= 44.58991039 OR 44° 35.395”
That’s why the correct answer is 44° 35.3’, 144° T
