A set of latitude/longitude coordinates describes a single point, so it's not possible for

a whole island to be right exactly there.

That particular point is located on the island of Newfoundland. But it's only one of a truly

huge number that are, and all the others have different latitude/longitude coordinates.

For example, if you were headed for the capital at St. John's and you told the pilot

to drop you at 48°North/56°West, then as the sound of the propellers faded over the

horizon, you'd still have to shlep your luggage, plus the airline magazine and the souvenir

barf-bag that you lifted, a good solid 300 miles to get to St. John's.

When an airplane takes off from a location at 17 degrees south latitude and flies to a mew location 55 degrees due north of its starting point.what latitude has the airplane reached?

When the airplane takes off from 17 degrees south latitude and flies 55 degrees due north, it first crosses the equator (0 degrees latitude) and continues northward. Since it starts at 17 degrees south and moves 17 degrees to reach the equator, it has 38 degrees left to travel north (55 - 17 = 38). Therefore, the airplane reaches a latitude of 38 degrees north.
