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 earth’s surface is covered by water?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the area of land on Earth, given that three-fourths of its surface is covered by water, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total surface area of the Earth The formula for the surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by: \[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. Given that the radius of the Earth is \( 6370 \) km, we can substitute this value into the formula. ...
