Circumference of the moon is about 6790 miles find the diameter of the moon to the nearest mile
To find the diameter of the moon, we can use the formula for circumference:
C = πd
where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
We know that the circumference of the moon is 6790 miles, so we can plug in this value for C:
6790 = πd
To solve for the diameter, we need to isolate d. We can do this by dividing both sides by π:
d = 6790/π
Using a calculator, we get:
d ≈ 2163.7 miles
To round to the nearest mile, we need to look at the first decimal place. Since the digit in the first decimal place is 7, which is greater than 5, we round up. Therefore, the diameter of the moon to the nearest mile is:
d ≈ 2164 miles
impatient much?
Once is enough, thank you.
