the square root of'(VI-V2)2 + (HI-H2)2
where VI and HI correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 1 and V2 and H2
correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 2.
Example:

the square root of' (5004-5987)2 + (1406-3424)2
The result is 709.83 miles. Any fractional miles are rounded to the next higher whole
number; therefore, the airline mileage for this example is 710 miles.
