To find the distance between two points on the earth when their latitude and longitude are known, a right triangle can be used for an excellent approximation if the points are not too far apart. Point A is at latitude 42°30'45" N. longitude 75°38'45" W, and point B is at latitude 42°31'30" N, longitude 75°39'30" W. Find the distance from A to B in nautical miles. (One minute of latitude is one nautical mile.) The distance from point A to B is nautical miles. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
