Pick four cities and divide them into pairs. Use the Internet to find the length of the circle between the first pair of cities.

I'll get you started.
Four cities:
London
New York
San Francisco
Tokyo

is the question linear or exonential if 622 people per year and the population is 1400 today what is linear
or exonential
To find the great circle route between two points on the Earth, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the latitude and longitude coordinates of the two cities you want to calculate the route for. You can find these coordinates by searching for the cities on a mapping service like Google Maps.
2. Once you have the coordinates, you can use a web-based tool like Great Circle Mapper or a similar website that provides great circle calculations.
3. Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first city as the "From" location and the coordinates of the second city as the "To" location.
4. The tool will calculate the great circle distance between the two cities, which represents the shortest path along the Earth's surface.
Now, let's apply this method to the specific cities you mentioned:
1. For the first pair of cities, let's say we choose New York City (40.7128° N, 74.0060° W) and Los Angeles (34.0522° N, 118.2437° W).
2. Using Great Circle Mapper or a similar tool, enter the coordinates of New York City as the "From" location and the coordinates of Los Angeles as the "To" location.
3. The tool will calculate the great circle distance between New York City and Los Angeles, which is approximately 2,466 miles.
For the second pair of cities, let's say we choose London (51.5074° N, 0.1278° W) and Tokyo (35.6895° N, 139.6917° E).
To estimate the great circle distance between these cities, you can use the same method:
1. Find the latitude and longitude coordinates of London and Tokyo.
2. Use a web-based tool like Great Circle Mapper to enter the coordinates of London as the "From" location and the coordinates of Tokyo as the "To" location.
3. The tool will provide an estimate of the great circle distance between London and Tokyo, taking into account the curvature of the Earth. This distance is approximately 5,978 miles.
Remember that these distances are approximate and can vary slightly based on the tool used and the specific coordinates selected.
