To find the diameter of the moon, we can use the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle. The formula is:
Circumference = π * diameter
Given that the circumference of the moon is about 6,790 miles, we can substitute this value into the formula:
6,790 miles = π * diameter
To solve for the diameter, divide both sides of the equation by π:
diameter = 6,790 miles / π
Now, to find the value of diameter to the nearest mile, we need to substitute the approximate value of π, which is 3.14:
diameter ≈ 6,790 miles / 3.14
Calculating this value, we get:
diameter ≈ 2162.43 miles
Rounding this to the nearest mile, the diameter of the moon is approximately 2162 miles.
