ReplyDelete8. decimal degrees are just degrees and a decimal number NOT expressed in minutes too. Also always needs N,S,E,W label or a negative sign (-) if in decimal digits and expressing W or S.
9. you're mixing up your meters and feet.
a) Greystone Mansion - 581ft. = 177m.
b) Woodlawn Cemetary - 141ft. = 43m.
c) Crestwood Hills Park - 634ft. = 193m.
11. 3,763,000mN and 361,500mE.
12. 1,000,000m²
