Do you mean the length of such an orbit ?

Well . . .

-- The radius of the Earth is about 3,960 miles.

-- 220 miles further out means that the radius of the orbit is 4,180 miles.

-- The circumference of a circle is (2 pi) x (the radius).

-- So the length of the orbit is (8,360 pi) = 26,264 miles. (rounded)
