Exercise #4

Look at the circle in the figure.

The radius of the circle is 23 \frac{2}{3} .

What is its perimeter?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The radius is a straight line that extends from the center of the circle to its outer edge.

The radius is essential for calculating the circumference of the circle, which can be found using the following formula:

If we substitute in the radius we have, the formula will be:

2*π*2/3

To solve this, first we'll rearrange the formula like so:

π*2*2/3 =

We'll then multiply the fraction by the whole number:

π*(2*2)/3 =

π*4/3 =

4/3π

Answer

43π \frac{4}{3}\pi

Exercise #5

Ivan does laps around a circular park which has a radius of 300 meters.

He completes 5 full circuits in 35 minutes.

What was Ivan's average speed?

300300300

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll go through the following steps:

  • Calculate the circumference of the circular park.
  • Determine the total distance Ivan runs.
  • Find Ivan's average speed.

Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circular park.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=2πr C = 2\pi r , where r r is the radius.
Given r=300 r = 300 meters, C=2π×300=600π C = 2\pi \times 300 = 600\pi meters.

Step 2: Determine the total distance Ivan runs.
Ivan completes 5 laps, so the total distance D D is given by:
D=5×600π=3000π D = 5 \times 600\pi = 3000\pi meters.

Step 3: Find Ivan's average speed.
The formula for average speed is v=total distancetotal time v = \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}} .
Total time = 35 minutes.
Average speed v=3000π35269.14 v = \frac{3000\pi}{35} \approx 269.14 meters per minute.

Therefore, Ivan's average speed is 269.14 269.14 meters per minute.

Answer

269.14 meter per minute
