A satellite was 1479 km from the surface of a planet at its closest point and 35,293 km from the surface at its farthest point. Use this information together with the value for the semimajor axis, 21,600 km, to estimate the average diameter of the planet. The diameter of the planet is km. (Round to the nearest whole number)
