A spacecraft orbits 327 kilometers above the surface of Earth. Assume that the spacecraft passes over Earth's North and South Poles as it flies. If the diameter of Earth is d = 12,750 kilometers from the North Pole to the South Pole, how far does the spacecraft travel in one orbit? Round the answer to the nearest kilometer. Assume that Earth is a perfect sphere.

I dont have a calculator on hand but what you gotta do is add those two numbers up, making 13,077, then add an extra 327 to get the full d of earth then multiply that by pi to get the circumference of earth and you got the orbit
