Question

the field inside a running track is made up of a rectangle that is 84.39 m long and 73 m wide, together with a semicircle at each end. what is the distance around the inside of the track?

the two semicircles pushed together create a circle. the diameter of the circle is the width of the field. the circumference of the circle is the perimeter of the two ends.

\\(c = \pi d\\)

write your answer using \pi\ with no spaces.

\\(c =\\) 73pi m

use 3.14 for \\(\pi\\) to find the approximate circumference.

\\(c \approx\\) 229.22 m

the length of the straight stretch across the top of the track is m.

the approximate total distance around the track is m.

Explanation:

Find the length of the straight stretch across the top of the track
