Francine ran 3 1/2 laps around the circular track in the school gym. the track has a diameter of 1/2 miles. about how far does francine run?

Francine run 5.495 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Francine ran    laps around the circular track in the school gym.

The track has a diameter of 1/2 miles.

To Find :  About how far does Francine run?

Solution :

First we need to calculate the perimeter of circular track :

Perimeter of circle :  

Since we are given the diameter = 1/2 miles = 0.5 miles

So, Radius will be (Diameter/2) = 0.5/2 = 0.25 miles

So, The perimeter will be:

Since

⇒

⇒

Thus the circular track is of 1.57 miles .

Since she ran     = 7/2=3.5 laps

1 lap = 1.57 miles

So, 3.5 laps = 1.57*3.5 =5.495 miles .

Hence ,  Francine run 5.495 miles

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
