Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>
