Whats the problem that you need help with
The area of the table is 3.75 feet
The boxes are .83333 feet by .83333 feet so that area is .69
.69x3 is 2.07 so yes they will fit on top of the table
If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Call one of the angles x. This means that its complement is 90 - x degrees. But the difference in their measures is 12 degrees.
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:

Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass
We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:

If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:

We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles
