Study the above diagram of the Earth that shows different plans of latitude that slice through the
Earth. If the radius of the Earth at its equator is 6,370 km, how many kilometers would you have to
travel if you went around the Earth at its equator? Round your answer to the nearest km.

**Answer: You would have to travel 40,030 kilometers if you went around the equator.
First, we need to find the circumference of the equator.
C = 2πr Plug in 6,370 for r C = 2π(6,370) C ≈ 40,030
Exact value is 12,740π
Ok yeah that's it **
