• The diagram shows a circular sector, drawn from the centre of
the Earth with an arc along the equator.

When the angle at the centre of the Earth is 1/60 of a degree, the arc length
along the equator is known as 1 nautical mile. Given that the Earth’s diameter
is approximately 12 760 km, find the length of 1 nautical mile in metres. Give
your answer to the nearest metre.
