If the sidereal period of the moon was 29.0 days(I know usually its 27.32 days), what would be its synodic period? In doing this problem I have considered how far around the sun the Earth/Moon will have travelled in 29.0 days but then I am stuck Any Help would be appreciated

I just started intoductory astronomy and I have difficulty understanding this problem. Any help would be appreciated For a place at a latitude of 55 degrees, determine how high above the horizon the sun is at noon on 1) The Vernal Equinox 2) The summer solstice 3) Winter solstice
