Question

A map of a public park shows a circular pond. There is a bridge along a diameter of the pond that is 0.25 mi long. You walk across the bridge, while your friend walks halfway around the pond to meet you at the other side of the bridge. How much farther does your friend walk? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.
Your friend walks about
miles farther than you.

Answer 1

The distance further the friend walked is 0.41 miles.

How much farther did the friend walk?

The distance the friend walked can be determined by calculating the circumference of a semicircle.

Circumference of a semicircle = πr + 2r

r = 0.25 / 2 = 0.125mi

3.14 x 0.125 + 0.25 = 0.66 mi

Difference in the distance = 0.66 - 0.25 = 0.41 miles
