Question

A puppy is tied to a leash and a backyard his leash is 3 m long and he runs around in circles pulling the leash as far as it can go what is the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap? A between 13 and 14 MB between 15 and 16 m c between 17 and 18 M deep between 18 and 19 M between 20 and 21 m

Answer 1

b. between 15 and 16 m

To calculate the distance the puppy runs in one lap, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle: C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Since the leash has a length of 3 m, the radius of the circle the puppy runs around is half of that, which is 1.5 m.

Plugging in the radius into the formula, we get C = 2π(1.5) = 3π ≈ 9.42 m.

Therefore, the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap is between 15 and 16 m.
