One of the most iconic places in the world is Central Park, New York. The UTM Coordinates of the four corners of the park are given below. Stating at the SE corner and going clockwise along the four corners – give the distances and bearings of each leg, arriving back at the SE corner.
You will want to write a program that takes two sets of UTM coordinates and calculates the bearing (you will need to apply trigonometry and consider the four quadrants). The bearing should be given in degrees between 0 and 360. Check your bearing to make sure it makes sense – for example, the SE corner to the SW corner would be a bearing between 270 (due west) and 360 (due north).Using this function, you can easily plug in the coordinate numbers and get the distances and bearings. Give distances and bearings for each leg and the total distance around the park. NOTE: I have attached the base code we went over in class. I would like it written similar just needs the specifics above!
If you look at the map you can see that the bearings must be
SE to SW – between 270 and 360
SW to NW – between 0 and 90
NW to NE – between 90 and 180
NE to SE – between 180 and 270
The distance is close to a 10k run
