An aeroplane flies from town A(20°N,60°E) to town B(20°N,20°E) if the journey takes 6hours, calculate, correct to 3 significant figure, the average speed of the aeroplane.

Answer 1

Change in longitude =60-20=40°=40π/180
Ѳ
Distance travel from A to be C in the arc=(40π/180)6400)cos(lat)

Where the latitude is the same 20°

Average speed=(total distance)/total time
