Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the circular track is missing, and so also its dimensions.

However, let's assume the dimensions of the circular track given is diameter (d) = 20 meters or radius (r) = 10 meters.

Since it's a circular track, the circumference of the track would give us the number of meters she runs in 1 lap.

Circumference = πd

d = 20 m (we are assuming the diameter is 20 meters)

π = 3.14

Circumference of circular track = 3.14 × 20 = 62.8 m.

This means that 1 lap = 62.8 m that she would have to run.

Therefore,

6 laps would be = 6 × 62.8 = 376.8 m

Therefore, if she completes 6 laps around the circular track that has a diameter of 20 m, she will have to run about 376.8 m.
