Answer:
a)
AB is on the latitude 30°N.
<u>Find AB:</u>
- AB = 2*3.142*6400*cos 30°*(32+35)/360 = 6482.15 km
BC is along longitude 35°W
<u>Find BC:</u>
- BC = 2*3.142*6400*(30 + 20)/360 = 5585.77 km
<u>Total distance traveled:</u>
- 6482.15 + 5585.77 = 12067.92 km
<u>Convert the distance to nautical miles:</u>
12067.92/1.86 = 6488.13 nautical miles
b)
<u>Find the average speed:</u>
- 6488.13/22 = 294.92 nautical miles / hour
<u>Note</u>. <em>This is unrealistically high speed for a ship, this must be a plane or the time given wrong.</em>
The answers are B & C.
First thing to d
o is convert Radians to Degrees. 1 radians = 180/pi
. So, 3.5 radians times 180 divided by

= 200.5352283 or which could be rounded of to 200.54. Thus, confirming choice letter C and negating choices A and D.
Next thing to check is choice letter B. To do this, we need to convert the decimal value of the computed answer which is 0.5352283 to minutes and seconds by the following conversion factors.
1 degree = 60 mins
1 minute = 60 seconds
Now, we multiply 0.5352283 by 60 to get 32.113698 minutes, thus
32 minutesthen multiply 0.113698 by 60 to get 6.82188 ~
7 seconds.therefore, conversion would yield an answer 200 degrees 32 minutes and 7 seconds.
