Question

if the sun is 3.14 (pie) how many centimeters is the sun? the distance across the sun is 12.7 centimeters

Answer 1

the length of the sun is 39.89 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that sun is spherical in shape but appear as a circular from the earth. In order to obtain the length of sun outer boundary, we need to evaluate the circumference of the sun and can be determined as,

Circumference of the Sun
`= \pi D`

here, D =represent diameter of the sun,

putting the value of diameter to obtained circumference of the sun

Circumference
`= 3.14 * 12.7 cm = 39.89 cm`.

therefore, the length of the sun is 39.89 cm
