Answer to Question 1

Answer: This can be calculated depending on which way one travels. The length of a degree of longitude at the equator is approximately 69 miles. If one travels towards the Prime Meridian:
180 - 135=45, then 180 - 150 = 30.
Add 45 and 30 = 75 being the difference between you and your cousin's locations.
Then multiply 75  69 miles = 5,175.

If one travels towards the Prime Meridian:
150 + 135 = 285 being the difference between you and your cousin's locations.
285  69 miles = 19665 miles.
