Question

The circumference of the earth is 40,000 km. The distance from the

North Pole to the equator is 1/4 of the circumference of the earth, which equals __ m.

Answer 1

The distance from the North Pole to the equator is
`1*10^(7)`m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of Earth = 40,000 km ......................(1)

Distance from the North Pole to the Equator is = 1/4th of the Circumference of Earth ...................... (2)

Let Distance from the North Pole to the Equator be d ,

the equation formed will be ,

d = 1/4 * Circumference of Earth ........(3)......... ( from equation 1 )

put the value of Circumference of Earth in equation (3),

d = 1/4 * 40,000 km

d = 10,000 km

converting km to m ,

d = 10,000 *
`10^(3)` m

d = 1 *
`10^(7)` m

The distance from the North Pole to the equator is
`1*10^(7)`m.
