A) 1.7 miles
B) 2.3 miles
C) 3.7 miles
D) 4.7 miles

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given:Ranger Station to Nature Center = 90°Nature Center to petting zoo = 40°Petting Zoo to Tennis Court = 120°Tennis Court to Pool = 65°Pool to Ranger Station = 45°radius = 1 milearc length = 2πr angle/360°Ranger station to nature center.arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 90°/360°arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 0.25arc length = 1.57 milesNature center to Petting Zooarc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 40°/360°arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 0.11arc length = 0.70 miles1.57 miles + 0.70 miles = 2.27 miles or 2.3 miles CHOICE B

HOPE THIS HELPS U
Given:Ranger Station to Nature Center = 90°Nature Center to petting zoo = 40°Petting Zoo to Tennis Court = 120°Tennis Court to Pool = 65°Pool to Ranger Station = 45°radius = 1 mile
arc length = 2πr angle/360°
Ranger station to nature center.
arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 90°/360°arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 0.25arc length = 1.57 miles
Nature center to Petting Zoo
arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 40°/360°arc length = 2 * 3.14 * 1 mile * 0.11arc length = 0.70 miles
1.57 miles + 0.70 miles = 2.27 miles or 2.3 miles CHOICE B
