A puppy is tied to a leash in a back yard. His leash is 3 meters long, and he runs around in circles pulling the leash as far as it can
go. What is the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap?

Respuesta :

its 9 meters and 20

Answer: between 18 and 19 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate distance the puppy runs is just simply the circumference of the circle.

The formula for calculating the circumference of a circle is given as :

C = [tex]2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]\pi = \frac{22}{7}[/tex]

[tex]r = 3m[/tex]

substituting into the formula , we have

[tex]C = 2 (\frac{22}{7})(3)[/tex]

[tex]C = \frac{132}{7}[/tex]

[tex]C = 18.85714285714[/tex][tex]m[/tex]

Therefore : The puppy runs between 18m and 19m in one lap
