The radius of the earth is approximately $6.37\times10^6\ m$. Find the circumference in kilometers.


Given: The radius of the earth is approximately $6.37\times10^6\ m$. 

To do: To find the circumference in kilometers.

Solution:

Radius of the Earth of the Earth $R=(6.37×10^6\ m)(10^{−3}\ km)$

$=6.37×10^3\ km$

Circumference $=2\pi R$

$=2\pi(6.37×10^3\ km)$

$=4.00×10^4\ km$.

Thus, the circumference of the earth is $4.00×10^4\ km$.
