Complete Question
Water covers 70.8%, or about 3.61 × 10⁸ km², of the Earth's surface. Approximate the total surface area of the Earth. (Round your answer to the nearest million.)
Answer:
510,000,000 million km²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the total surface area of the earth as = x
We are told in the question that:
Water covers 70.8%, or about 3.61 × 10⁸ km², of the Earth's surface.
70.8% = 0.708
Hence,
0.708 × x = 3.61 × 10⁸
x = 3.61 × 10⁸/0.708
x = 361000000/0.708
x = 509,887,005.65km²
Therefore, the total surface are the earth approximately to the nearest million = 510,000,000 million km²
