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.
First, we need to find the radius using the formula for circumference of a circle:
C = 2πr
Given that the circumference is 7,459 miles and π = 3.14, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the radius:
7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * r
7,459 = 6.28r
r = 7,459 / 6.28
r ≈ 1,187.894 inches
Therefore, the radius rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 1,187.89 miles.
