A) $3798 \mathrm {~km}$
B) $3882 \mathrm {~km}$
C) $3739 \mathrm {~km}$
D) $3823 \mathrm {~km}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between the cities is the difference in their latitudes multiplied by the radius of the earth. So, the distance between City A and City B is:$$(59^\circ N - 25^\circ N) 	imes 6400 \mathrm{~km} = 3798 \mathrm{~km}$$
