Wow! Good job. I hope you didn't copy and paste those answers off of Quizlet, because they look pretty similar.

Nope, I didn't, but I should probably use quizlet. I mostly use the stuff from soinc.org or Wikipedia (very reliable).

Anyways, the answer is 16.5º or 293 miles because it's the change in declination from true north (the star) to magnetic north (MN).

Good job, that is correct. What type of question do you want next, DerechosRYummy? You can have
  • Highway
    • Topographic
      • Student Drawn
        • Satellite Imagery
          • Profile

                      Here, I entered a Google docs into here. If you log in, you should be able to see it and print it out. You can answer it in this format. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzo ... neWII/edit#
