Satellite technology was developed in the year 1960 as a means of communication, but also as a way to spy on other people. Satellites are now used for so much more, including weather data, broadcasting television signals, and even helping you navigate to a new destination. A satellite travels around the Earth in a circular orbit 500 KM above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth is 6375 kilometres. Calculate the maximum distance travelled by the satellite in one orbit of the earth in kilometres. Use the value of π=3.14, or the pi button on your calculator. Write your answer in standard form with the coefficient rounded to two decimal places.
