A park has a circular pond that has a bridge across its diameter that is 0.75 miles long you walk across the bridge while your friend walk half way around the pond to meet you at the other side of the bridge how much father does your friend walk round your answer to the nearest hundreds
While you walk .75 miles, your friend will walk (1/2)π(.75) miles , (since C =πd)
the extra distance is the difference between them.
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the circumference of the circular pond and determine how far your friend walks.
First, we know that the bridge across the pond is the diameter, which is 0.75 miles long. The diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so we can calculate the radius of the pond as 0.75 miles divided by 2, which is 0.375 miles.
Next, we can find the circumference of the circular pond using the formula: circumference = 2 * pi * radius. Plugging in the value for the radius we just calculated, we get: circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 0.375 = 2.355 miles.
Since your friend walks halfway around the pond, we need to find half of the circumference. So, we divide the circumference by 2: 2.355 miles / 2 = 1.1775 miles.
Now, rounding to the nearest hundreds, we get that your friend walks approximately 1.18 miles.
