yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = 42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}

Now changing the angle in radian = 7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian

So distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles
