The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Given that the circumference is approximately 7,459 miles, we can use the formula to solve for the radius:
7,459 = 2 * 3.14 * r
7,459 = 6.28 * r
r = 7,459 / 6.28
r ≈ 1,188.535
Rounded to the nearest hundredths place, the radius is 1,188.54 miles. Expressing it to the tenths place, the answer is 1,188.5 miles.
Therefore, the closest answer choice is 1,187.7 miles.
