Question

Earth has a diameter of approximately 8,000 miles. If the circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = πd, what is the circumference of Earth? (Use 3.14 for π)

Answer 1

Answer: Circumference of Earth= 25120 miles

Explanation:

Given: The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula
`C = \pi d`, where d= diameter of the circle.

Earth's diameter = 8000 miles (approx)

The circumference of circle =
`3.14* 8000` [substitute values in formula]

The circumference of circle = 25120 miles (approx)

Hence, the circumference of Earth= 25120 miles (approx)
