Langleyville (43 degrees S, 77.6 degrees w) and Cajun Country (25 degrees s, 77.5 degrees w) have almost the same longitude, which means that they are roughly due north-south of each other. Set up all the work to find the approximate distance in miles between the cities assuming the radius of the earth is 4000 miles.
