The earth is 40000 kilometers around. There is no need to round off because the circumference already contains significant figures.
How do I calculate a circle's circumference?
A circle's diameter is multiplied by to determine its circumference (pi). You can also determine the circumference by multiplying 2radius by pi (=3.14).
Given: theta angle (central) = 7.2°; arc length S = 800 km
This indicates that an 800 km long arc is extending a circle with a 7.2° center angle ( earth in this case).
By definition, "An arc's length is a portion of a circle's diameter."
Therefore, we must first establish what percentage of the circle the specified arc length represents.
360° is a complete circle.
Thus, the fraction equals 7.2°/360°, or 1/50.
As a result, the stated arc length (800km) with a 7.2° central angle is 1/50th of the entire circle.
Thus, the whole circumference is 800 x 50, or 40000 km.
Alternately, you can calculate circumference using the formula below:
360° center angle x arc length as the circumference (theta)
Values substituted: circumference 800 = 360° 7.2°
circumference = 360°, 800°, and 7.2°, or 40000 kilometers
Therefore, the earth is 40000 kilometers around. There is no need to round off because the circumference already contains significant figures.
