Latitude gives the measure of a central angle with vertex at Earth’s center whose initial side goes
through the equator and whose terminal side goes through the given location. Reno, Nevada is
approximately due north of Los Angeles. The latitude of Reno is 40° N, while that of Los Angeles is
34° N. The radius of Earth is 6400km. Find the north-south distance between the two cities.
