Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P1 = (3.5,5) in the form (x1,y1)
P2 = (3.5,-12) in the form (x2,y2)
dist = sqrt[ (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 ]
dist = sqrt[ (3.5-3.5)^2 + (-12-5)^2 ]
dist = sqrt [ 0 -17^2]
dist = 17
The answer to the question is 3 8/33
To find the diameter, you use the formula: 2x. we use 2x because the radius is 2 times the diameter.
so, if the radius is 3,980, then we substitute that into the formula.
2(3,980)
this will give us 7960. the diameter is 7960 miles.
I beleieve the answer is false
