Answer:
67 million square miles
Explanation:
The area of a sphere is given by ...
A = 4πr²
So the area of the Earth is approximately ...
A = 4π(4000 mi)² ≈ 2.01×10^8 mi²
The area of the 1/3 that is not covered by water is approximately ...
(2.01×10^2 mi²)/3 = 6.7×10^7 mi²
The land area is estimated to be about 67 million square miles.
