Answer 1

1020 miles

Explanation:

We can lay a map like this (shown below):

Washington DC --------------> Rome, Italy ---------------->Sochi, Russia

From Washington DC to Rome is 4480

From Washington DC to Sochi is 5500

Now, we have:

Washington DC --------4480---------> Rome, Italy ---------------->Sochi, Russia

|--------------------------------------------------------5500-----------------------------------------|

THus, from Rome to Sochi is 5500 - 4480 = 1020 miles
