    147.3047 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that

    the length of arc = radius (r) * angle subtended at the center (θ in radian)

    radius of mars = 2110 miles

    central angle = four degrees of latitude

    also π radian = 180°

    4° = 4π/180 radian = π/45

    length of arc = 2110*3.14/45 = 147.3057 miles

    four degrees of latitude corresponds to 147.3047 miles
