To find the diameter of the moon, we can use the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle. The formula is:

Circumference = ฯ€ * diameter

Given that the circumference of the moon is about 6,790 miles, we can substitute this value into the formula:

6,790 miles = ฯ€ * diameter

To solve for the diameter, divide both sides of the equation by ฯ€:

diameter = 6,790 miles / ฯ€

Now, to find the value of diameter to the nearest mile, we need to substitute the approximate value of ฯ€, which is 3.14:

diameter โ‰ˆ 6,790 miles / 3.14

Calculating this value, we get:

diameter โ‰ˆ 2162.43 miles

Rounding this to the nearest mile, the diameter of the moon is approximately 2162 miles.
