Short Answer

Expert verified

The location is nearly the same given by USGS compare to the result of our method.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has determined the official centre of the continental United States is at a point approximately 20 mi (32 km) north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota at 44掳58鈥�2.07622鈥砃, 103掳46鈥�17.60283鈥砏.

02

Step 2. To Determine

How does the location given by USGS compare to the result of our method.

03

Step 3. Calculation

The exact coordinates of the midpoint are:

45掳 34' 2" N

106掳 7' 18" W

And the official centre of the continental United States is at a point approximately 20 mi (32 km) north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota at 44掳58鈥�2.07622鈥砃, 103掳46鈥�17.60283鈥砏.
