What is the approximate circumference of a circle is 7,459 miles. What is the diameter rounded to the nearest hundredth place using 3.14 for π. A: 2372.61 B: 2372.61 C: 2373.57
To find the diameter of a circle when given the circumference, you can use the formula:
Circumference = π * Diameter
Given that the circumference is 7,459 miles and using π ≈ 3.14, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter:
Diameter = Circumference / π
Diameter = 7,459 / 3.14
Diameter ≈ 2372.93
Rounded to the nearest hundredth place, the diameter is 2372.93, which is closest to option C: 2373.57.
