Question

you should familar with theonly place in america tha allows you to stand in 4 states at the same time. without rounding, give us exact coordinates of the point of intersection down to the hundreths decimal place

Answer 1

Four Corners. The borders of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona meet at one spot. It is possible to sit or stand in all four states. As far as the coordinates, can't give ya that.

Answer 2

36°59′56.31532″N, 109°02′42.62019″W

I looked up the coordinates on my DeLorme Street Atlas 7 program and found that there are actually three sites on the map. The state border, the true four corners at;
N36' 59.947" W109' 02.696"

There is a Four Corners Monument at;
N36' 59.911" W109' 02.683"

and another Four Corners Monument at;
N36' 59.927" W109' 02.741

While these are at different locations, In actual fact, the distance from each of them to the other is only 100 to 300 feet. Normal consumer grade GPS receivers generally are no more accurate than that. They generally give accuracy as "accurate to about 15 Meters"

Consider that the Earth is about 8,000 miles in diameter. That makes the circumference PI*8000 or 25,132 miles. That 25,132 is divided into 360 degrees. Each degree equals about 69.81 miles. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes of angle, giving 1.16 mile per minute of arc. Our calculations above show minutes to the thousand, or .00116 miles per last unit of display. Divide that into 5280 feet per mile gives 6.14 feet per .001 minute of arc.

Answer 3

The location is called Four Corners. New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

37deg .9m N by 109deg 3.02 W, elevation 4644ft

Answer 4

Utah - Colorado - New Mexico - Arizona
36 55 38.62N . . . . 109 06 41 93 W Elev. 5135 feet

Answer 5

i found it interesting that none of the GPS coordinate answers were the same. i didn't know that the four corners moved.

Answer 6

why do you want to know that?
