The approximate circumference of a circle is 7,459 miles. What is the radius rounded to the nearest hundredths place? Use 3.14 for PI and express your answer to the tenths place
To find the radius of a circle given its circumference, we use the formula:
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
Since the circumference is 7,459 miles and we are rounding to the nearest hundredths place, we have:
7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * radius
7,459 = 6.28 * radius
radius ≈ 1188.030
Rounded to the nearest hundredths place, the radius is approximately 1188.0 miles.
