Sure, let's match each country with its correct coordinates by carefully considering the **North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W)** indicators. ### Countries and Potential Coordinates: 1. **Madagascar** 2. **Greenland** 3. **Afghanistan** ### Given Coordinates: 1. **\( 18.7669^{\circ} \mathrm{S}, 46.8691^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** 2. **\( 23.6345^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 102.5528^{\circ} \mathrm{W} \)** 3. **\( 33.9391^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 67.7100^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** 4. **\( 36.2048^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 138.2529^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** 5. **\( 71.7069^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 42.6043^{\circ} \mathrm{W} \)** ### Matching Process: 1. **Madagascar**: - **Location**: Off the southeastern coast of Africa. - **Latitude & Longitude**: Approximately **20° S** and **47° E**. - **Best Match**: **1. \( 18.7669^{\circ} \mathrm{S}, 46.8691^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** 2. **Greenland**: - **Location**: High northern latitude, part of the Arctic region. - **Latitude & Longitude**: Approximately **72° N** and **43° W**. - **Best Match**: **5. \( 71.7069^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 42.6043^{\circ} \mathrm{W} \)** 3. **Afghanistan**: - **Location**: South-Central Asia. - **Latitude & Longitude**: Approximately **34° N** and **69° E**. - **Best Match**: **3. \( 33.9391^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 67.7100^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** ### Summary of Matches: - **Madagascar**: **1. \( 18.7669^{\circ} \mathrm{S}, 46.8691^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** - **Greenland**: **5. \( 71.7069^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 42.6043^{\circ} \mathrm{W} \)** - **Afghanistan**: **3. \( 33.9391^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 67.7100^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)** ### Notes on Other Coordinates: While the question primarily focuses on Madagascar, Greenland, and Afghanistan, for completeness: - **2. \( 23.6345^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 102.5528^{\circ} \mathrm{W} \)**: This coordinate points to a location in the central Pacific Ocean, likely near parts of Mexico. - **4. \( 36.2048^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 138.2529^{\circ} \mathrm{E} \)**: This coordinate corresponds to Tokyo, Japan.
