Answer:

The distance around a circular track if it is 100 feet across is 314 feet.

Explanation:

Circumference of circle is given by:

$C = \pi D$ ....[1]

where

C is the circumference of a circle.

D is the diameter of a circle.

As per the statement:

A circular track if it is 100 feet across.

⇒
D = 100 ft

then

substitute this value in [1] we have;

$C = 3.14 \cdot 100$

Simplify:

C = 314 feet

Therefore, the distance around a circular track if it is 100 feet across is 314 feet.
