This question may require the use of the Earth Science Reference Tables. An airplane takes off from a location at 17°S latitude and flies to a new location 55° due north of its starting point. What latitude has the plane reached?
38°N - If one starts at 17°S and flies 55°N the destination point would be 38°N. First, you would travel to the equator (0°) that would be 17 of the 55 degrees. Then continue traveling northward until you have reached 38 degrees. 38 + 17 equals 55.
