Answer:
196,836,571.6 miles²
Explanation:
the earth is shaped like a sphere. the surface area of the earth can be determined by calculating the surface area of a sphere
surface area of a sphere = 4πr²
π= 3.14
r = 7,917.5 / 2 = 3958.75 miles
the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.
A radius is half of the diameter
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
4 x 3.14 x 3958.75² = 196,836,571.6 miles²
