Use the formula 2(3.14)(26), which should give you 163.28 ft.

So, the trainer is acting like centre of the circular path, and the length of the rope is the radius.
Like this.|dw:1338372695068:dw|

So the length of the path should be the circumference of the circle right?

So, calculate the circumference of this circle with radius 26ft - and enjoy! ;)
