You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to know the distance of the circumference:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=%28pi%29r%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=%283.1416%29%284000%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=50265600\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Know, we know that 360 degrees is equal to a circle, so 42/360 is to be used.
\n" ); document.write( "(42/360)(C)=distance
\n" ); document.write( "The distance should be 5,864,320 miles. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
