The number of kilometres travelled by the satellite in discuss in which case, the satellite makes 8 revolutions around the earth is; C = 177,271.8 km.

What is the distance in kilometres covered by the satellite after 8 revolutions?

Given from the task content, the earth's diameter is; 6371 km and since, the height at which the satellite orbits the earth is; 343km, it follows that the diameter of orbit if the satellite in discuss is;

D = 6371 + (343)×2

Hence, we have; diameter, D = 7057 km.

Hence, the distance travelled after 8 revolutions is;

C = 8 × πd

C = 8 × 3.14 × 7057

C = 177,271.8 km.
