Navigation As we have seen in previous chapters, the great circle distance (in radians) between two points PI(LTI , LN1) and P2(LT2, LN2), whose coordinates are given as latitudes and longitudes, is calculated using the formula d COS-I (sin (LTI) sin (LT2) + cos (LT1) cos (LT2) cos (LNI - LN2 An alternate formula that can be used is ( .. LT} LT2 LN! LN2 d 1.;n-' Y,;n'( 2 ) + co, (LT,) 00' (LT,) sill' ( 2 )) Prove that by setting these two expressions equal to one another, the result is an identity.
