  • A

    N48°14' E012°59'

  • B

    N47°49' E012°59'

  • C

    N47°47' E013°00'

  • D

    N47°48' E012°53'

Refer to figure.
1. The airport is in the eastern and northern hemisphres. Latitude increases as we move northwards and longitude increases as we move eastwards.

2. So, the airport EDNK is north off the parallel of latitude 48°N, and west off the meridian of longitude 013°E.

3. The longitude decreases as we move westwards and each small line along a parallel corresponds to 1 minute of arc. The airport is 1 minutes of arc (small lines) west from the meridian 013°E, so its longitude is 012°59'E.

4. The latitude increases as we move northwards and each small line along a meridian corresponds to 1 minute of arc. The airport is 14 more minutes of arc (small lines) north from the parallel 48°N, so its latitude is 48°14'N.

5. Therefore, the airport's coordinates are: N48°14' E012°59'.
