60. Layer of Earth Earth’s radius is
approximately 4010 miles. The crust
is approximately 10 miles wide, the
mantle is approximately 1800 miles
wide, and the inner core has a radius
of approximately 800 miles. You
want to know the width of the outer
core. You write the equation 10 +
1800 + x + 800 = 4010 to model the
situation. What do the 10, 1800, x,
800, and 4010 represent? Solve the
equation.
