An oval track is made by erecting semicircles on each end of a 60m by 120m rectangle. Find the length of the track and the area
enclosed by the track
1 answer:
Refer to the figure shown below.
Because the question states that the semi circles are at the ends of the rectangle, each semicircle has a radius of 30 m.
The circumference of the oval is
2π(30) + 2*120 = 60π + 240 m = 428.5 m
The area of the oval is
π(30²) + 60*120 = 900π + 7200 m² = 1.0027 x 10⁴ m²
Note:
If the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then similar calculations yield:
Circumference = 120π + 120 m = 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7200 m² = 1.851 x 10⁴ m²
Answer:
If the semi circles are placed on the 60-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 60π + 240 m, or 428.5 m
Area = 900π + 7200 m², or 1.0027 x 10⁴ m²
if the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 120π + 120 m, or 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7500 m², or 1.851 x 10⁴ m²
Because the question states that the semi circles are at the ends of the rectangle, each semicircle has a radius of 30 m.
The circumference of the oval is
2π(30) + 2*120 = 60π + 240 m = 428.5 m
The area of the oval is
π(30²) + 60*120 = 900π + 7200 m² = 1.0027 x 10⁴ m²
Note:
If the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then similar calculations yield:
Circumference = 120π + 120 m = 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7200 m² = 1.851 x 10⁴ m²
Answer:
If the semi circles are placed on the 60-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 60π + 240 m, or 428.5 m

if the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 120π + 120 m, or 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7500 m², or 1.851 x 10⁴ m²

Answer:
(x-4)²/16 + (y-8)²/25 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
center (h,k): ((4+4)/2 , (3+13)/2) = (4 , 8)
a = 13-8 = 5 c = 8-5 = 3
b = √5²-3² = 4
Equation: (x-h)²/b² + (y-k)²/a² = 1
(x-4)²/16 + (y-8)²/25 = 1
