Spherical trigonometry problems.

Objective:

Calculate the distance between two points on the planet, using spherical trigonometry, for
that this measure be as close to reality as possible.

Instructions:

Solve the following exercises correctly:

Calculate the spherical excess of a spherical triangle with the following internal angles:
55°
A right spherical triangle is inscribed in a sphere with a radius of 6 units.
Calculate its area if its third angle is 60°.
3. Determine the perimeter of the polar triangle of the spherical triangle whose angles are 40°,
100° and 110°.
4. Calculate the distance between points A and B located on the Earth's surface, being
the geographic longitudes and latitudes of A and B are the following:
Longitude A = 4°55’10” West.
Longitude B= 12°10’East.
Latitude of A = 44°36' North.
Latitude B= 40°10'20" North.
Calculate the area, the spherical excess of the spherical triangle: A = 40°30 ’; B= 109°20 ’; c=
120°10' with the radius r = 40m
6. Calculate the sides of a spherical triangle knowing the three angles:
54°42’10”
7. Solve the following spherical triangles given two sides and the included angle:
73°58'58"
