Question

How far does a horse on a Merry-go-round travel in one revolution if he is 6.5 feet from the center? (Use 3.14 for π) A) 10.21 feet B) 20.41 feet C) 37.68 feet D) 40.82 feet

Answer 1

D) 40.82 feet

Explanation:

The distance traveled is the circumference

C = pi *d where d is the diameter

C = 2 * pi *r

We are given the radius

C = 2 * (3.14) * 6.5

C = 40.82
