Answer 1

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

\[
C = \pi d
\]

Where:
- \( C \) is the circumference,
- \( \pi \) (pi) is approximately 3.14,
- \( d \) is the diameter.

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 7,459 miles, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter \( d \):

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

Substituting the given values into the formula:

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

Calculating this gives:

\[
d \approx 2,375.16
\]

When you round 2,375.16 to the nearest hundredths place, it remains 2,375.16.

Thus, the diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths place is **2,375.16 miles**.
