Question

In the middle of a basketball court, the circle has a diameter of 5 feet. If

Mrs. Gilbertson's daughter walked around the circle 12 times, how far did
she walk? Use 3.14 for TT. *

Answer 1

The distance that Mrs. Gilbertson's daughter walked was 188.4 feet

Explanation:

Here we have that Mrs. Gilbertson's daughter walked round the circle 12 times where the diameter of the circle = 5 ft., therefore, the circumference of the circle, the distance walked round each of the 12 times = π·D

Where:

D = 5 ft

Hence, circumference = π × 5 = 3.14 × 5 = 15.7 ft

Therefore, by walking round the circle 12 times, the total distance that Mrs. Gilbertson's daughter walked = 12 × 15.7 = 188.4 ft.
