Question

A car travels 3 times around a traffic circle whose radius is 80 feet. What is the distance the car will travel? Use 3.14 for π . Enter your answer in the box. ft

Answer 1

Answer : Distance will be 1507.2 feet .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Radius of circle = 80 feet

So,

Circumference of circle is given by

`2\pi r=2* 3.14* 80=502.4 \text{ feet}`

Since , a car travels 3 times around a traffic circle.

So,

`\text{ Distance covered by the car will travel}= 3* 502.4= 1507.2 \text{ feet }`

So, Distance will be 1507.2 feet .
