To find the longitude, you can use the formula: Longitude = GHA - LHA. In this case, GHA is 173° and LHA is 358°. So, Longitude = 173° - 358° = -185°. Since longitude values range from -180° to 180°, you can convert -185° to 175° (by adding 360°), indicating that the location is at 175° E longitude.
