Answer:
The perimeter of the track is of 317 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter:
The perimeter of a figure is the sum of all its dimensions.
In this question:
The track is composed by two straights of 80m, and two half circles with a diameter of 50m.
Perimeter of a circle:
The perimeter of a circle with diameter d is of:
[tex]P = \pi d[/tex]
Track:
Two half circles, each with a diameter of 50m, plus two straight lines of 80m. So
[tex]P = \frac{2\pi}{2}(50) + 2*80) = 50\pi + 160 = 50*3.14 + 160 = 317[/tex]
The perimeter of the track is of 317 meters.
