1 answer

The circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter and \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14. To find the diameter, we can rearrange the formula:

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

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 7,459 miles, we can substitute the values into the formula:

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

Now, calculate the diameter:

\[ d \approx \frac{7,459}{3.14} \approx 2,375.79 \]

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

\[ \boxed{2375.79} \text{ miles} \]
