Heather works in a circular showroom for wallpaper and tiles. Aisles divide the showroom like the spikes of a wheel. Each spoke
aisle is 25 feet long. A spoke aisle goes from the center to the outer corridor that circles the entire showroom. In one eight-hour workday, Heather estimates that she walks around the outer corridor at least 17 times, and walks the length of 6 spoke aisles. What is the approximate distance that she walks in one day?
First we need to find the length of the outer corridor, and we do that by finding the length of the circunference with a radius of 25 feet:
C = 2 * pi * r = 2 * pi * 25 = 157.08 feet
Now, as Heather walks the outer corridor 17 times and the length of 6 spoke aisles (the radius of the circunference), we have that the total distance she walks is:
