Question

Describe the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India and Brazil. 

Answer 1

1. Longitudinal and latitudinal extent of Brazil: Brazil being the 5th largest country in the world. The longitudinal extent of Brazil is an area of 4,319 kilometres from east to west, 34°47'30" E to 73°59'32" W (34 degrees 47 minutes 30 seconds E to 73 degrees 59 minutes 32 seconds W longitude), and the latitudinal extent of Brazil extends 4,395 kilometres from north to south, 5°16'N to 33°44'S (5 degrees 16 minutes 20 seconds N to 33 degrees 44 minutes 32 seconds S latitude).
2. Longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India: India being one of the biggest countries in Asia. The longitudinal extent of India has an area of 2933 kilometres from east to west. 68°7' E to 97°25' E (68 degrees 7 minutes E to 97 degrees 25 minutes E longitude) and the Latitudinal extent of India extends 3214 kilometers from North to South 37°6' N to 8°4' N (37 degrees 6 minutes N to 8 degrees 4 minutes N latitude)
   The difference in the longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India and Brazil is ≅ 10 degrees, with Brazil being longer.

Answer 2

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India and Brazil is as follows:

	Latitudinal extent	Longitudinal extent
India	8° 4' N to 37° 6' N latitude	68° 7' E to 97° 25' E longitude
Brazil	5° 15' N to 33° 45' S latitude	34° 47' W to 73° 48' W longitude

Indira Point is the southernmost tip of India, and it is located on the 6°45'N parallel.
