Suppose that a year has 365 days, and that the path of the earth around the sun is a circle of radius 93 million miles.
(a) Through how many radians does the earth travel in a single day?
2pi/365
----------------
(b) What is the distance in millions of miles that the earth travels in a single day in its path around the sun?
2p*r/365
=~ 1,600,922 miles
