Assuming that Earth is a sphere of 6278 kilometers, what is the difference in the latitudes of Syracuse, New York and Annapolis, Maryland, where Syracuse is 450 kilometers due north of Annapolis?

I have the answer. I just need the process.

450/(2π•6378) = 0.0112 of circumference = 0.0112 of 360° = 4.0425°
