Question

. The earth’s diameter is 1.276 x 107 meters. How many yards is this?

Answer 1

1.396 x
`10^(7)` yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth has a spherical shape, thus its diameter is a straight line that passes through its center; dividing into two equal halves.

Given that the diameter of the earth is 1.276 x
`10^(7)` meters.

But,

1 meter = 1.09361 yards

So that,

1.276 x
`10^(7)` meters = x

⇒ x = 1.276 x
`10^(7)` x 1.09361

= 1.39545 x
`10^(7)` yards

The diameter of the earth is 1.396 x
`10^(7)` yards.
