Answer:

The outside edge is 44 ft longer than the inside edge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outside edge has a 1000 ft radius. Because the curve makes a 180° turn, the length of the curve is half of the perimeter of a circle.

Perimeter of a circle:

P=\pi \times 2R

Outside length of the curve is given by:

O=\frac{P}{2} =\frac{\pi \times 2R}{2} = \pi \times R

R=1000 ft

Then,

O= \pi \times R= \pi \times 1000 ft= 3141.6 ft

Inside length of the curve is given by:

r=R-14 ft

O= \pi \times r=\pi \times( R-14 ft )= \pi \times (1000 ft - 14 ft)= \pi \times 986 ft= 3097.6 ft

The difference between the two lengths is:

\Delta L=O-I=3141.6 ft-3097.6 ft= 44 ft

The outside edge is 44 ft longer than the inside edge.
