Question

Eric walks around a man-made circular lake two times. If the circumference of the lake is 8 miles, how far has he walked?

a) 16 miles
b) 25.12 miles
c) 12.56 miles
d) 6.28 miles

Answer 1

Eric walked a total distance of 16 miles after going around a lake with an 8-mile circumference twice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric has walked around the man-made circular lake two times. Given that the circumference of the lake is 8 miles, we can calculate the total distance walked by Eric by multiplying the circumference of the lake by the number of times he walked around it.

1. Multiply the circumference of the lake, which is 8 miles, by the number of laps which is 2.
2. 8 miles × 2 laps = 16 miles.

Therefore, Eric has walked a total distance of 16 miles.
