What is the approximate speed of the satellite?

7000 miles per hour-we can calculate the radius of earth by dividing the circumference at the equator by 2 & 3.14. 24,901.55/2 = 12,450/ 3.14 = 3965 miles. if we add the distance the satellite is from the equator, we will determine the radius of the satellite: 3965 + 22,300 = 26,255 miles. we can then calculate the circumference of the satellite by multiplying its radius by 2 and 3.14: 26265 * 2 = 52,530 * 3.14 = 164,944 miles. finally, since this is the distance the satellite travels around (by perspective) in 24 horus, we can determine the speed by dividing by 24: 164,944/24 = 6873 miles per hour or about 7000 miles per hour.
