You want to wrap a string around the circumference of the Earth. Later, you decide that you want the string to be 1 inch above the surface of the Earth. How much more string will you need?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

6ft

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or less, depends on how much slack you can take up :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was fast.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wait, 6ft is for like 3 feet above

OpenStudy (amistre64):

il go with at most 6 ft to cover my bases lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well that does eliminate some possibilities i suppose.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

convert the radius of the earth to feet; and compare circumferences before and after you add the inch

OpenStudy (amistre64):
