First, we know that the formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius. We are given that the circumference is approximately 7,459 miles.
So, 7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * r
Solving for r, we get:
7,459 = 6.28r
r = 7,459 / 6.28
r ≈ 1,187.7
Therefore, the radius rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 1,187.7 miles, which means the answer is B. 1,187.7 miles.
