Question:

Great circle. Write a program GreatCircle that takes four double command-line arguments—x1, y1, x2, and y2—(the latitude and longitude, in degrees, of two points on the earth) and prints the great-circle distance between them.

The great-circle distance (in nautical miles) is given by the following equation:image text in transcribed

Note that this equation uses degrees, whereas Java’s trigonometric functions use radians.
Use Math.toRadians() and Math.toDegrees() to convert between the two.
Use your program to compute the great-circle distance between Paris (48.87° N and 2.33° W) and San Francisco (37.8° N and 122.4° W).
