Answer 1

To find the diameter of a circle given its circumference, you can use the formula:

\[
C = \pi \times d
\]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the diameter:

\[
d = \frac{C}{\pi}
\]

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 7,459 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
d = \frac{7,459}{3.14}
\]

Now, we can calculate the diameter:

\[
d \approx \frac{7,459}{3.14} \approx 2,375.16
\]

So, the diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths place is:

**2,375.16 miles.**
