Statement Problem: The dwarf planet has a diameter of 1400 mi. find the circumference.

Solution:

A dwarf planet is a small planetary-mass object that is in direct orbit of the Sun – something smaller than any of the eight classical planets, but still a world in its own right. The prototypical dwarf planet is Pluto.

The circumference C, of the dwarf planet is;


\begin{gathered} C=\pi d \\ \text{Where d=diameter} \end{gathered}

Then, the diameter of the dwarf planet is given as 1400miles;


\begin{gathered} d=1400mi \\ C=\pi*1400 \\ C=1400\pi \end{gathered}

The circumference is 1,400pie
