How do I find the latitude and longitude Point A for a specific point based on a known latitude and longitude Point B and a known distance between Point A and Point B Is there a formula?

If we understand the question, you're describing a circle on the surface of the earth,
with its center at 'Point B', and its radius equal to the known distance. According to
your specifications, 'Point A' can be any point on the circle. If you were to also specify
the 'azimuth' (bearing or compass direction) from 'Point B' to 'Point A', then 'Point A'
could be located by means of a formula which, though comparatively neat and tidy,
would need to involve quite a bit of trigonometry.

How do you calculate the distance between two countries no same longitude and latitude?
by miles
Difference between latitude and longitude?
The difference between latitude and longitude is that latitude refers to a location point's distance that is either north or south of the equator and longitude refers to a specific point's distance that is either east or west of the prime meridian. The prime meridian is the longitude line that has zero degree and passes near London, United Kingdom.
What is the distance in km between an island 179 degrees and 180 degrees west longitude at 60 degrees north latitude?
The distance between one degree of longitude at 60 degrees north latitude is approximately 55.6 km.
What are the 4 differences between alphanumeric grid and latitude and longitude?
In latitude and longitude
How many miles apart are 175 west longitude and 179 east longitude?
There is no way to tell. Their precise latitude locations would enable this computation. Note that unlike N and S latitude lines, which have a fixed distance between degree lines, the spacing between longitude lines varies greatly with latitude. Close to the poles, there is practically no distance between 175° W and 179° E -- at the equator, the lines are separated by about 360 nautical miles, which is about 414.3 miles or 666.7 kilometers.
What is the distance from the same longitude point between latitude A43 and B51?

Can you use the distance formula to find the distance between two points on a map?
yes you can. It will represent longitude and latitude. Take the longitude and latitude from the first point and from the second one place the values in the formula you get the distance.

What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.

What is the actual distance between lines of the longitude?
It depends on one's latitude, I believe. Distance at the Poles, Zero, at the Equator about 700 miles.
