the length of the trainning track is 361.26 m

Step-by-step explanation

to find the length of the training track we need to add twice the length of the rectangle ot the circumference of the circle ,so

Step 1

so

Perimeter=2(Length)+2 ( area of half circle/2)

Perimeter=2(L1)+ area of a circle

hence

a)let


\begin{gathered} L1=88 \\ diamter\text{ of circle=59} \\ \pi=3.14 \end{gathered}

so


Perimeter=2(L1)+\pi *d

replace and calculate


\begin{gathered} Perimeter=2(88\text{ m})+(3.14*59) \\ Perimeter=176\text{ m+185.26} \\ Perimeter=361.26\text{ m} \end{gathered}

therefore, the length of the trainning track is 361.26 m

I hope this helps you
