Question

The distance around a meteor crater is 9,799 ft. Find the diameter of the crater. Use 22 7 for π.

Answer 1

3118.7ft

Explanation:

Given data

Circumference= 9,799 ft

We want to find the diameter, but we need to get the radius

C= 2πr

9,799=2*22/7*r

9,799=2*3.142*r

9,799=6.284r

r=9,799/6.284

r= 1559.35

Hence the diameter is =1559.35*2

Diameter=3118.7ft
