Answer:
H = 0.95 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference of Earth = 2πR
My belt = 2πR (Where R is the radius of the Earth)
Peter's belt = 2πR+6
We have to find the Height "h" so the radius of the circle for Peter's belt becomes R+h So the expression becomes 2π(R+h)
But we already know,
Peter's belt = 2πR+6
So,
2πR+6 = 2π(R+H)
2πR + 6 = 2πR + 2πH
Subtracting 2πR to both sides
=> 6 = 2πH
OR
=> H = 6/2π
=> H = 3/π
Where π = 3.14
=> H = 0.95 feet
Answer: 0.00016 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Google, the circumference of the Earth is 24,901.461 miles. Using the formula 2*pi*r = circumference, the radius of your belt is around 3963.19061 miles. Now, 6 feet is 0.001 miles. So his belt is 24,901.461+0.001 = 24,901.462 miles. Use 2*pi*r to get 3963.19077 miles, a full 0.00016 miles above the surface!
