Fred is planning a fundraiser where he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs. He will be running on a typical track, that has two straight lengths of 300 feet each, and two curved parts that are in the shape of semicircles with 200 foot diameters

He runs around the track exactly 15 times. To the nearest cent, how much money did he collect?

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of each curved path is 200 feet. Since the two curved semi circular paths are equal, they would form a circle. It means that the distance around the two semi circular paths would be the circumference of the circle. Formula for determining the circumference of the circle is π × diameter. It becomes

200 × 3.14 = 628 feet

Total distance around the track would be

300 + 300 + 628 = 1228 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

1228 feet = 1228/5280 = 0.23 mile

If he runs around the track exactly 15 times, it means that the number of miles covered is

0.23 × 15 = 3.45 miles

Since he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs, the amount of money that he collected is

4.5 × 3.45 = $15.5

answer: -1

step-by-step explanation:

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
