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
