Dunno exactly what your academic exercise is-- but if you're trying to find the lat-lon that's X nm from each of two given lat-lons, why wrestle with map projections? Just calculate it, using successive approximation with the geodetic formulas. My calculator program does it in maybe 30 seconds; it'll take longer with online calculators, but still not prohibitive.
