Question

The figure below shows the ideal pattern of movement of a herd of cattle, with the arrows showing the movement of the handler as he moves the herd. The arc the handler makes from the starting point to the return point should be a quarter of a circle:

A sector showing a quarter of a circle is drawn. The radius is marked as 75 feet. The endpoints of the arc of the sector are marked as Starting Point and Return Point. The sector is filled with cattle.

Based on this theory, what distance will the handler move from the starting point to the return point if he creates an arc of a circle of rad

Answer 1

Answer 2

thats my last one

Answer 3

It's 1/4 of the circumference of the circle.

Answer 4

what is the circumference of the full circle?

Answer 5

*it cut off sry:
Based on this theory, what distance will the handler move from the starting point to the return point if he creates an arc of a circle of radius 75 feet?

Answer 6

well 2*pi*r^2

Answer 7

actually 2*pi*r

Answer 8

oh yeah sry

Answer 9

compute 2*pi*r where r = 75 is your radius

Answer 10

then multiply by 1/4, or divide by 4, to find the distance along the circle from the starting point to the return point

Answer 11

117.75

Answer 12

?

Answer 13

you used pi = 3.14 ?

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

if that's what the instructions are, then yes, that's the distance along the circle from the starting point to the return point

Answer 16

Correct. That is 1/4 of the circumference of the circle.

Answer 17

(75*3.14*2)/4 = 117.75

Answer 18

yayyyyy
