Question

Thomas is training for a 3.1-mile race by running on a circular path. He knows that it is 0.75 miles from the tree in the center of the circular path to the path. How long is the path?

Answer 1

4.71 miles long

Explanation:

Ape' step by step.

Answer 2

Radius of circular path = distance from path to the tree in the centre

Radius of circular path = 0.75 miles

Length of path = Circumference of path(circle)

Circumference of the circular path :

`= \tt2\pi r`

`=\tt 2 * 3.14 * 0.75`

`=\tt 6.28 * 0.75`

`=\tt 4.71 \: miles`

Thus, the circumference of the circular path = 4.71 miles

Therefore, the circular path is 4.71 miles long.
