Chapter 3.2 Problem 3.1.114

Question

Nautical Miles If a central angle with its vertex at the center of the earth has a measure of 1', then the arc on the surface of the earth that is cut off by this angle (known as the great circle distance) has a measure of 1 nautical mile (Figure 16). lfthe great circle distance between two ships on the ocean is 0.1 radian, what is this distance in nautical miles?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 3.2 problem number 114 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Nautical Miles If a central angle with its vertex at the center of the earth has a measure of 1', then the arc on the surface of the earth that is cut off by this angle (known as the great circle distance) has a measure of 1 nautical mile (Figure 16). lfthe great circle distance between two ships on the ocean is 0.1 radian, what is this distance in nautical miles?
From the textbook chapter Radian Measure you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
