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. Use the formula sheet provided.(1 point) Responses 2,375.5 miles 2,375.5 miles 1,187.7 miles 1,187.7 miles 3,729.5 miles 3,729.5 miles 1,243.2 miles
The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Given that the circumference is 7,459 miles and using π ≈ 3.14, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius:
7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * r
7,459 = 6.28r
r ≈ 7,459 / 6.28
r ≈ 1,187.7 miles
Therefore, the radius rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 1,187.7 miles. The closest option provided is 1,187.7 miles.
