Question

Trey wants to swim all the way across a circular pond (directly through the middle) that has a circumference of 628 m. How far will he swim?

Answer 1

Since Trey wants to swim across the circular pond, we have to find the measure of the diameter of the circular pond.

We know that the pond has a circumference of 628 m. The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

`C=\pi\cdot d`

where d represents the diameter and pi equals 3.14. In this case, we know that C = 628, then, solving for d, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 628=3.14\cdot d \\ \Rightarrow d=(628)/(3.14)=200 \\ d=200 \end{gathered}`

therefore, Trey will swim 200 m
