Answer:

  • Option C is correct.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • Circumference: 2πr

Work:

  • => 3500 x 2 x 22/7
  • => 500 x 2 x 22
  • => 1000 x 22
  • => 22000 miles

Hence, Option C is correct.

Hoped this helped.

Answer:

22,000 miles

Skills required: Geometry

Explanation:

1) First, we need to understand what circumference is.

- In the problem shown, we are given the radius. This is a line from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle.

- Here the radius is
3500

----> When given the radius, the circumference is equal to:


2\pi r (or
2*\pi*r)


\pi is known as pi and is 3.14 when rounded.

(There are infinite digits to pi)

2) We can plug in for radius and using this formula:

--->
2*\pi*r=2*\pi*3500=21991.15

(doing
2*3.14*3500 yields the answer of
21980).

Both of these answers are around 22,000 miles.
