A running track in the shape of an oval is shown. The ends of the track form semicircles. A running track is shown. The left and right edges of the track are identical curves. The top and bottom edges of the track are straight lines. The track has width 54 m and length of one straight edge 120 m. What is the perimeter of the inside of the track? (π = 3.14) 409.56 m 480.00 m 579.12 m 616.80 m

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you see this posted image there is the length of diameter of this semicircle equal 54 m so how many will be the length of the radius of this semicircle ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

are you here please ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

2,700?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know that the diameter is 54 and that the diameter is equal 2r so than r = ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

ooo sorry I thought this was a different question

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

120?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so how many will be the length of radius ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

54 divide 2

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

27

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

right 27 so than you know that 27 is the length of the radius do you know formula of circumference of a circle ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

c+2pie r @jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

C = 2pir so than you look on this posted image on the left and right part so there are two semicircle with equal radius - so than you unit togheter these two semicircle will get a circle with radius equal 27 - yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

kathy !!!

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

@jhonyy9 sorry my sister was asking my something. and yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you calculi the circumference of this circle so will get the length of these two semicircle from the ends of this track

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

okay

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

C = 2pir C = 2*3,14 *27 = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hey ! you dont calculi it now ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

409.56?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this is to much - i think - check it please

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

no I mean as the final answer. but I know 14*27=378

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how you get thie 14*27 ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

multiply?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

first you need to calculi the circumference of this two semicircle

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but i wrote there above that this circumference of these semicircle is equal with circumference of a circle with radius equal 27 - ok ? so please calculi this circumference

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

what is calculi?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

make the calculi for circumference

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

C = 2pir C = 2*3,14*27 = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

make calculations

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

C = ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

I don't know how

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

it's my first time answering these questions

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

multiplie 2*3,14*27 = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

2*27=54 54*3,14 = 169,56

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

then what's the answer?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this the length of this two ends part in the form of semicircle so to find the total length of this track you need assuming to this number the length of these two edge with length of 120 meter - ok. ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

one edge has 120 meter so 2 edge will be how many meters length ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

okay

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so how many ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

2*120 = ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

420

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why so much ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

120+120 = ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

240

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes so the total length of this track will be the circumference of this circle assumed with this above get length of these two edge how many will be ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

169,56 +240 = ?

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

409.56?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

nice exactly

OpenStudy (kathydimieri12):

thank you ahaha sorry for being so slow XD

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it now how you can solving same exercices ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

np was my pleasure and anytime just tag me good luck bye bye
