Navigation The great circle distance between two points

Chapter 4, Problem 4.1.449

(choose chapter or problem)

Navigation The great circle distance between two points P1(LTt, LNI) and Pz(LTz, LN2), whose coordinates are given as latitudes and longitudes, is given by the formula d = cos-l (sin (LT1) sin (LT2) + cos (LTl) cos (LT2) cos (LNI - LNz where d is the distance along a great circle of the Earth measured in radians (Figure 13), To use this formula, the latitudes and longitudes must be entered as angles in radians. Find the great circle distance, in miles, between the given points assuming the radius of the Earth is 3,960 miles.P1(N 32 22,108', W 64 41.178') Bermuda, and P2(N 13 04.809', W 59 29,263') Barbados
