Work each problem. See Example 5.

Nautical Miles Nautical miles are used by ships and airplanes. They are different from statute miles, which equal 5280 ft. A nautical mile is defined to be the arc length along the equator intercepted by a central angle AOB of 1 min, as illustrated in the figure. If the equatorial radius of Earth is 3963 mi, use the arc length formula to approximate the number of statute miles in 1 nautical mile. Round your answer to two decimal places.
