Solution

The distance between two lines of latitude, also known as meridians, is approximately 69 miles or 111 kilometers. However, the distance between two lines of longitude, or parallels, varies depending on how far north or south from the equator the lines are.

The question seems to be asking for the distance between two lines of latitude, given as 33° 42' 00" N and 33° 43' 00" N.

Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. For a more precise measurement, you can consider that each minute (') is 1/60 of a degree, and each second (") is 1/60 of a minute.

So, the difference between 33° 42' 00" N and 33° 43' 00" N is 1 minute, which is 1/60 of a degree.

Therefore, the distance would be (69 miles/60) = 1.15 miles.

To convert miles to yards, you can use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 1760 yards.

So, 1.15 miles is approximately (1.15 * 1760) = 2024 yards.

So, the answer is 2024 yards.
