An amusement park has a
diameter of 975 feet and has a
circular walking path around
the entire park. The
maintenance worker has to
walk around the park three
times a day. How far does he
walk a day?

Answer 1

Total distance covered by the maintenance worker = 9189.16 feet

Explanation:

An amusement park has a diameter = 975 feet

Radius of the park =
`\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}`

r =
`(975)/(2)`

r = 487.5 feet

Since a maintenance worker walks around the park three times, that means he covers the circumference of the circle thrice.

Circumference = 2πr

C = 2π(487.5)

C = 975π feet

He covers this distance thrice,

So total distance covered by him = 3 × (975π)

= 2925π

= 9189.16 feet

Therefore, he walks 9189.16 feet per day.
