Question

A car travels 3 times around a traffic circle whose radius is 80 feet. What is the distance the car will travel? Use 3.14 for π . Enter your answer in the box. ft

Answer 1

Answer : Distance will be 1507.2 feet .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Radius of circle = 80 feet

So,

Circumference of circle is given by

$2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 80=502.4 \text{ feet}$

Since , a car travels 3 times around a traffic circle.

So,

$\text{ Distance covered by the car will travel}= 3\times 502.4= 1507.2 \text{ feet }$

So, Distance will be 1507.2 feet .
