A plant its radius is approximately 4012 miles about 2/3 of the planet surface is covered by water enter an estimate for the land area on the planet round the answer to the nearest million

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of land is 0.067  million squared miles.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of a planet is sphere.

The surface area of a sphere is [tex]4\pi r^2[/tex].

Given that, the radius of the planet is approximately 4012 miles.

Total surface area of the planet is [tex]=4 \pi (4012)^2[/tex]

                                                        = 202,351,5224.6 squared miles        

                                                        =0.202 million squared miles

[tex]\frac 23[/tex] of the plane surface is covered by water.

[tex](1-\frac23)=\frac13[/tex]  of the plane surface is covered by land.

The area of land is =[tex]\frac13 \times 0.202[/tex]

                               = 0.067  million squared miles
