Answer:
The length of one lap of the track would be about 377 feet
Explanation:
- The length of any circular path is equal to the circumference of the circular path
- The circumference of a circle C = π d, where d is the lengths of its diameter
∵ A circular race track has a diameter of 120 feet
→ That means the length of each lap equal the circumference of the track
∴ The length of one lap = C
∵ The diameter of the track is 120 feet
∴ d = 120 feet
∵ C = πd
∴ C = π(120)
→ Use π = 3.141
∴ C = (3.141)(120)
∴ C = 376.92 feet
→ Round it to the nearest whole number
∴ C ≅ 377 feet
∴ The length of one lap of the track would be about 377 feet
