Shoshone County Airport is located at approximately which coordinates?

• A. 47°33'N-116°11'W
• B. 36°24'N-76°01'W
• C. 47°21'N-101°01'W
• D. 47°35'30"N-100°43'00"W

Answer: (A)

Coordinates show where something sits on the globe by its latitude (how far north or south) and longitude (how far east or west). Shoshone County is in northern Idaho, so the coordinates should show a latitude around 47 degrees north and a longitude around 116 degrees west. The option with 47°33'N and 116°11'W places you right in northern Idaho, matching Shoshone County’s location. The other options place you far away: 36°24'N is in the southeastern U.S., and longitudes around 101°W or 100°W fall in central North Dakota. So the first set best represents the airport’s approximate coordinates.
