Question

You run around the perimeter of the baseball field at a rate of 9 ft. per second. How long does it take you to run around the baseball field to the nearest 10th of a second?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a shape is the total distance around it.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a circle is

Perimeter = 2πr

Where

r represents radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

The given circle has a radius of

225 ft. The perimeter would be

2 × 3.14 × 225 = 1413 ft

Therefore, the perimeter of the circular path of the base ball field would be

40/100 × 1413 = 0.4 × 1413 = 565.2 ft

The perimeter of the base ball field would be

565.2 + 300 + 300 = 1165.2 ft

Time = distance/speed

Time it will take you to run around the baseball field is

1165.2/9 = 129.5 seconds
