Introduction
In order to calculate the distance between Kansas City and Dallas, we need to know the latitude and longitude of both cities. We can usegoogle maps to find the latitude and longitude of each city. The latitude for Kansas City is 39.0997, and the longitude is -94.5786. The latitude for Dallas is 32.7767, and the longitude is -96.7970.
Now that we have the latitude and longitude of both cities, we can use the Haversine formula to calculate the distance between them. This formula calculates the distance between two points on a sphere (in this case, Earth).
The Haversine formula is as follows:
a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2( √a, √(1−a) )
d = R ⋅ c
Where:
– φ is latitude; Δφ (the difference in latitudes)
– λ is longitude; Δλ (the difference in longitudes)
R is Earth’s radius (6371 km or 3889mi)
Kansas City Latitude: 39.0997 Longitude: -94.5786
Dallas Latitude: 32.7767 Longitude: -96.7970
a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
a = sin²((39.0997 – 32.7767)/2) + cos(39.0997)*cos(32.7767)*sin²((-94.5786+96.7970)/2) = 0.05087860672677637
c = 2 * atan2( √a, √(1−a)) = 2 * atan2( √0.05087860672677637, √1-0.05087860672677637)= 1.0543528858817655
d= R*c (where R is Radius of earth in Kilometers or miles): d= 6371km * 1Options for Calculating Distance
d= 3959mi * 1 now we have our final answer which is 676 kilometers or 419 miles!
