Answer:

Explanation:

Since the picture isn't given. I have no idea what the radius or diameter is and as such, have no definite answer for you.

However, from the question, if he's to run round the circular track once, then he must have run a total of

2πr meters, with r being the radius.

Now, the question says that he ran round the track 10 times, this means that whatever value we get there, for 1 trial, we multiply it by 10, to get the value for 10 trials. Essentially,

10 * 2πr

The value gotten is the needed answer. All you have to do is substitute r for the value you have in your diagram. We already know that π is 3.142
