Question

22 The distance around a meteor crater is 9,031 ft. Find the diameter of the crater. Use 22/7

(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 2873.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance around a meteor crater is 9,031 ft.

We need to find the diameter of the crater. The circumference of a circle is given by :

$C=2\pi r$

Where

r is the radius of the circle

So,

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{9031}{2\times \dfrac{22}{7}}\\\\r=1436.75\ ft$

Since,

Diameter, d = 2r

$d=2\times 1436.75\\\\d=2873.5\ ft$

So, the diameter of the crater is equal to 2873.5 feet.
