A zoo has diameter of 3,480 feet and has a circular path around the entire zoo. If you walk around the entire zoo three times, how far did you walk?
3*3480*pi = ____
3480 * π * 3
32798.2273035
the diameter is given to 3 significant figures
just because a calculator shows a lot of digits
... doesn't mean they are real
To find out how far you walked, you need to calculate the circumference of the circular path around the zoo and then multiply it by the number of times you walked around.
The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula: C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the diameter of the zoo is 3,480 feet, the radius can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2: r = d/2 = 3,480/2 = 1,740 feet.
Now, you can calculate the circumference using the formula: C = 2πr = 2 * 3.14 * 1,740 = 10,908.8 feet.
Since you walked around the zoo three times, you need to multiply the circumference by 3: Total Distance = 10,908.8 * 3 = 32,726.4 feet.
Therefore, if you walk around the entire zoo three times, you would have walked approximately 32,726.4 feet.
