Answer:

  (i) 55.59 km/h

  (ii) 3600 nautical miles ≈ 6670.8 km

  (iii) 30°N 29.3°E

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) The speed in km/h requires a units conversion.

  (30 kt/h)(1.853 km/kt) = 55.59 km/h

__

(ii) Here, we assume we're interested in the <em>distance traveled</em>. If the course is "due east", we presume that means it follows the 30° latitude line, so is not the shortest route between A and B. That is, the distance from A to B will be different from the distance traveled. (The shortest route from A to B is along a great circle.)

  distance = speed × time

  distance = (30 kt/h)(120 h) = 3600 nautical miles

  = (55.59 km/h)(120 h) = 6670.8 km

__

(iii) The radius of the 30° latitude line is ...

  (6370 km)(cos(30°)) = 3185√3 km ≈ 5516.58 km

The relationship between arc length (s) and central angle (α) is ...

  s = rα

So, the change in the vessel's longitude is ...

  α = (6670.8 km)/(5516.58 km) ≈ 1.20923 radians ≈ 69.28°

Then town B has longitude ...

  40°W -69.3° = -29.3°W = 29.3°E

The position of town B is about 30°N 29.3°E.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The route supposedly taken by this sea vessel is from the middle of the North Atlantic to a town in northern Egypt, through the northern Sahara desert. The eastern end point is shown in the attachment.

Some spherical trigonometry is involved if you want to find the end point of the great-circle route of the same length.

Do the ratios 42/56 and 56/64 form a proportion?<br> if they do explain your answer
Volgvan
Lets check...

42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional

proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional

ANSWER
x= 46

EXPLANATION
To solve this problem you need to remember that a straight line is 180°. This figure is basically a straight line split in two, so 134°+x=180°. You can also subtract 134 from 180 to get 46.
