A circular path around a lake has a diameter of 2,000 feet (ft). Pranotti jogs around the path 5 times for her morning run. How far does she run? Use 3.14 for ƒàƒnand round your answer to the nearest foot
To find the circumference:
C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 2000
C = ?
Multiply the above answer by 5.
C = 2pi(r) or pi(d)
once around = 3.14(2000)
Pranotti goes around 5 times that.
so....
To find out how far Pranotti runs, we need to calculate the circumference of the circular path first. The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:
C = πd
Where C is the circumference, π (pi) is approximately 3.14, and d is the diameter of the circle.
Given that the diameter of the circular path is 2,000 ft, we can substitute the values into the formula to find the circumference:
C = 3.14 * 2000
C ≈ 6,280 ft
Now that we know the circumference of the circular path, we can determine how far Pranotti runs by multiplying the circumference by the number of times she jogs around the path. In this case, she jogs around the path 5 times:
Distance = 6,280 ft * 5
Distance = 31,400 ft
Therefore, Pranotti runs approximately 31,400 feet.
