Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles: Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles
