If an plane can fly around the earth at the equator without stopping. It would have traveled about 24,900 miles. Find the radius of the earth.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation gives circumference (24900 miles). Knowing this the formula to start off finding radius is

[tex]c=2\pi r[/tex]

we know c(circumference) and we know pi(3.1415926535...)

so move the numbers to isolate r(radius) to look something like this

[tex]\frac{c}{2\pi } =r[/tex]

input the known values then solve.

[tex]\frac{24900}{2\pi } =r[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12450}{\pi } =r[/tex]

[tex]3962.95808... =r[/tex]

(round this to whatever value you are looking for)

Hope This Helps :)
