Question

The orbit of the space is approximatly a circle with a radius of 4100 mi. How far do the astronauts travel with each orbit?

Answer 1

25748 km

Explanation:

The distance at which astronauts travel can be obtained by calculating the Circumference of the circle.

Circumference of a circle = 2πr ; π = 3.14

Radius = 4100 km

Circumference of a circle = 2 * 3.14 * 4100

Circumference of the circle = 25748 km

Hence, astronauts travel a distance of 25748 km
