A certain city N and a city M are approximately a miles apart on the surface of the earth. Assuming that the radius of the Earth is 4,000 miles, find the radian measure of the central angle with its vertex at the center of the earth that has the city N on one side and the city M on the other side. Assume a = 590. (Round the answer to four decimal places.)
