An aeroplane flies from a town P(lat. 40^\circN, 38^\circE) to another town Q(lat. 40^\circN, 22^\circW). It later flies to a third town T(28^\circN, 22^\circW). Calculate the : (a) distance between P and Q along their parallel of latitude ; (b) distance between Q and T along their line of longitudes; (c) average speed at which the aeroplane will fly from P to T via Q, if the journey takes 12 hours, correct to 3 significant figures.
