Calculating the new longitude:
New longitude = 77 degrees west + 4145 miles (converted to degrees)
1 mile is approximately 0.0009 degrees of longitude
4145 miles = 4145 * 0.0009 degrees = 3.7305 degrees
Adding this value to the original longitude:
77 degrees west + 3.7305 degrees = 80.7305 degrees west
Therefore, the location that is 4145 miles due west of Washington DC has a longitude of approximately 80.7305 degrees west. To determine the exact location, we would need to find the corresponding latitude.
