Q. The figure below shows a rope that circles the Earth. The radius of the Earth is 6371 kilometers.Assuming the rope makes a perfect circle, what is the length of this rope?Give your answer in terms of pi.□ kilometers
Calculate Circumference Formula: To find the length of the rope, we need to calculate the circumference of the Earth using the formula C=2×π×r, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Plug in Radius: Plug in the radius of the Earth into the formula: C=2×π×6371 km.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to get the length of the rope: C=2×π×6371km=12742×πkm.
Check Calculation: Check the calculation for any errors. The formula and numbers look correct.
