Chapter 12, Problem 88(choose chapter or problem)
In Exercises 8488, a great circle on a sphere S with center O and radius R is a circle obtained by intersecting S with a plane that passes through O (Figure 19). If P and Q are not antipodal (on opposite sides), there is a unique great circle through P and Q on S (intersect S with the plane through O, P, and Q). The geodesic distance from P to Q is defined as the length of the smaller of the two circular arcs of this great circle. Use Exercise 87 to find the geodesic distance between Los Angeles (34 N, 118 W) and Bombay (19 N, 72.8 E). Great circle through P and Q Smaller circle
