The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is twice the radius, we have D = 2r.
Given that the circumference is 7,459 miles, we have:
7,459 = 2πr
Solving for r:
r = 7,459 / (2π)
r ≈ 1187.22 miles
Since the diameter is twice the radius, we have:
D ≈ 2(1187.22) = 2374.44 miles
Rounded to the nearest hundredths place, the diameter is 2374.44 miles.
The approximate circumference of a circle is 7,459 miles. What is the diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths place? Use 3.14 for π .(1 point)
