Question

PLEASE THIS IS URGENT I AM BEING TIMED

A skater spins in one spot with one leg extended. If the skater's leg is 3.2 feet long, about how far does her raised foot travel with each spin? (Round your answer to the nearest whole foot.)

Answer 1

about 20 feet

Explanation:

This is basically a circumference problem. We want to know the distance her toe travels every circle, which is the outside of the circle, so we solve for circumference.

C = 2πr

The radius is her leg! r = 3.2 feet

C = 2π(3.2)

= 20.106 ≈ 20 feet
