Derivation

1. Initial program 37.3

   \[R \cdot \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]

2. Initial simplification3.8

   \[\leadsto \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)\right)^2 + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)^2}^* \cdot R\]

4. Applied add-log-exp3.9

   \[\leadsto \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\log \left(e^{\cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)}\right)}\right)^2 + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)^2}^* \cdot R\]

6. Applied add-cbrt-cube4.0

   \[\leadsto \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \log \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{\left(e^{\cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)} \cdot e^{\cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)}\right) \cdot e^{\cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)}}\right)}\right)^2 + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)^2}^* \cdot R\]
