The approximate circumference of a circle is 7,459 miles. What is the radius rounded to the nearest hundredths place? Use 3.14 for PI and express your answer to the tenths place

1 answer

To find the radius of a circle given its circumference, we use the formula:

Circumference = 2 * π * radius

Since the circumference is 7,459 miles and we are rounding to the nearest hundredths place, we have:

7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * radius
7,459 = 6.28 * radius
radius ≈ 1188.030

Rounded to the nearest hundredths place, the radius is approximately 1188.0 miles.
