how do you write and solve an equation to determine the radius of mars
the radius of earth is 6378.1 km, which is 2981.1 km longer than the radius of mars
6378.1 - 2981.1 = ?
you simply take the equation:
6378.1 - 2981.1=mars radius

To write and solve an equation to determine the radius of Mars, you can use the given information and variables to represent the unknown radius of Mars. Let's use the variable "x" to represent the radius of Mars.
Given:
Radius of Earth = 6378.1 km
Radius of Mars = x
According to the information provided, the radius of Earth is 2981.1 kilometers longer than the radius of Mars:
Radius of Earth = Radius of Mars + 2981.1 km
Now we can set up an equation using the given information:
6378.1 km = x + 2981.1 km
To solve for the radius of Mars (x), we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 2981.1 km from both sides:
6378.1 km - 2981.1 km = x
Simplifying the equation:
3397 km = x
Hence, the equation to determine the radius of Mars is x = 3397 km. Thus, the radius of Mars is 3397 kilometers.
