It dont seem right!!!
THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE IS 22/7 x THE DIAMETER SO ---IF YOU INCREASE THE DIAMETER OF A CIRCLE FROM 2 INCHES TO 3 INCHES,THE INCREASE IN CIRCUMFERENCE IS 3.142 INCHES.
IF THE CIRCLE DIAMETER IS 1 MILE[66360 INCHES]AND IS INCREASED BY 1 INCH,THE RESULT IS THE SAME-3.142!
IF THE EARTH WAS A PERFECT SPHERE DOING THE SAME CALCULATION WITH THE EQUATOR WOULD YIELD THE SAME 3.142 INCHES!!!
LIKE I SAID, IT DONT SEEM RIGHT.
PLEASE WILL SOMEONE PUT ME RIGHT!

A couple of examples:
Circle with 10 inch diameter has a circumference of 31.42 ins
Circle with 11 inch diameter has a circumference of 34.562 ins and the difference is 1 x 3.142 inches.
Circle with 10,000 ins diameter has a circumference of 31,420 ins
Circle with 10,001 ins diameter has a circumference of 31,423.142 ins and the difference is 1 x 3.142 inches.
