Derivation

1. Initial program 17.0

   \[\cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot R\]

2. Initial simplification17.0

   \[\leadsto R \cdot \cos^{-1} \left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) + \sin \phi_2 \cdot \sin \phi_1\right)\]

4. Applied cos-diff3.7

   \[\leadsto R \cdot \cos^{-1} \left(\color{blue}{\left(\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \lambda_2 + \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)} \cdot \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) + \sin \phi_2 \cdot \sin \phi_1\right)\]

6. Applied add-cbrt-cube3.8

   \[\leadsto R \cdot \cos^{-1} \left(\left(\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \lambda_2 + \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\left(\sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right) \cdot \left(\sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot \left(\sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)}}\right) \cdot \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) + \sin \phi_2 \cdot \sin \phi_1\right)\]
