Question

22 The distance around a meteor crater is 9,031 ft. Find the diameter of the crater. Use 22/7

(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)​

Answer 1

d = 2873.5 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance around a meteor crater is 9,031 ft.

We need to find the diameter of the crater. The circumference of a circle is given by :

`C=2\pi r`

Where

r is the radius of the circle

So,

`r=(C)/(2\pi)\\\\r=(9031)/(2* (22)/(7))\\\\r=1436.75\ ft`

Since,

Diameter, d = 2r

`d=2* 1436.75\\\\d=2873.5\ ft`

So, the diameter of the crater is equal to 2873.5 feet.
