3. Shana is about to perform a relay handoff on a circular track that has a
radius of 9 meters and her track partner Katie is standing 132° away from
her. How many meters does Shana need to run to pass the baton to Katie?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Shana need to run 20.74 meters to pass the baton to Katie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circular track for the relay handoff race is 9 meters.

Therefore, the total length of the circular track is the circumference of the circle i.e. [tex]2\pi r = \frac{2 \times 22 \times 9}{7} = 56.57[/tex] meters.

Shana is about to perform the race and her partner Katie is standing 132° away from her.

We have to calculate the circular track distance from Shana to Katie.

Now, 360° rotation is equivalent to a circular length of 56.57 meters.

Hence, 132° rotation will be equivalent to [tex]\frac{56.57 \times 132}{360} = 20.74[/tex] meters.

Therefore, Shana needs to run 20.74 meters to pass the baton to Katie. (Answer)
