    Answer: 29,113.2 km

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

    Circumference = 2 x π x radius

    Replacing with the values given:

    Earth's mean circumference = 2 π 6,371.0 = 40,030.2 km

    Earth's moon mean circumference = 2 π 1,737,5 = 10,917 km

    Now, we have to subtract Earth's moon mean circumference to Earth's mean circumference:

    40,030.2 - 10,917 = 29,113.2 km

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
