Answer:

373 miles

Explanation:

The difference in latitude is ...

39.1° -33.7° = 5.4° = 0.54°(π/180°) radians = 0.03π radians

The arc length is given by ...

s = rθ, where θ is the angle in radians

The length of the arc along the longitude line is ...

s = (3960 mi)(0.03π) ≈ 373 mi

The distance from Atlanta to Cincinnati is about 373 miles.
