Question

A high school track is shaped as a rectangle with a half circle on either side.

A rectangle has a length of 85 yards and width of 25 yards. 2 semicircles with diameters of 25 yards are on each end of the rectangle.

Jasmine plans on running three laps. How many yards will Jasmine run? Use 3.14 for Pi.
248.5 yd
490.5 yd
725.5 yd
745.5 yd
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

d= 25 yards ; r = 25/2 = 12.5 yards

circumference of two semicircle = circumference of circle

= 2πr = 2*3.14*12.5 = 78.5 yards

Perimeter of school truck = 78.5 + 85 + 85 = 248.5 yards

Distance traveled by Jasmine = 3* 248.5 = 745.5 yards

Answer 2

Explanation:

perimeter=2(85)+π(12.5)=220+2×12.5π

=170+25×3.14

=170+78.5

=248.5

distance ran=3×248.5=745.5 yards.
