Step-by-step explanation:
For example, to find the common (positive) multiples of 4 and 6, we might list: Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, … Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, … The numbers 12, 24, 36, and 48 appear on both of these lists, and more would appear if the lists were longer.
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:
Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass
We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:
If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:
We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles
