Assuming the earth to be a sphere of radius 6370 km, how many square kilometres is area of the land, if three-fourth of the earths surface is covered by water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Radius of sphere=`6370km`
Water on the earth = `3/4xx`total area
Remaining area = `1-3/4`=`1/4`
Now, total area=`1/4xx4pir^2`
=`pir^2`
=`22/7xx6370^2`
=`127527400km^2`
Hence, `127527400km^2` is area of land.
