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. Simplified3.7

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

  4. Applied *-commutative3.7

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

  5. Final simplification3.7

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