The dimensions of a track used for cycling competitions, called a velodrome, ismeasured in meters. Addison currently bikes in a 7.5 kilometer race, which is 30 lapsaround the track, or a total of approximately 4.65 miles. For the next race, Addisonwould like to bike in the longer race, which is 40 laps. Approximately how many miles isthis race?

Respuesta :

Given:

The laps are 30

Total distance = 7.5 Kilometer

Find-:

The distance when bikes laps are 40

Explanation-:

The radius of the bike = x

The distance of one lap

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

Where

[tex]r=\text{ Radius}[/tex]

The distance of 30 laps is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =2\pi r\times(30) \\ \\ =60\pi r \end{gathered}[/tex]

The distance is 75 kilometers.

[tex]60\pi r=7.5[/tex]

A kilometer is 4.65 miles.

So, distance is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =7.5\times4.65 \\ \\ =34.875\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The radius is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 60\pi r=34.875\text{ miles} \\ \\ r=\frac{34.875}{60\times\pi} \\ \\ r=\frac{0.58125}{\pi} \\ \\ r=0.185\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The distance of 40 laps is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance }=40\times2\pi r \\ \\ \text{ Distance }=80\pi r \\ \\ \text{ Distance }=80\times\pi\times0.185 \\ \\ \text{ Distance }=46.5\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The distance of the race is 46.5 miles
