Exercise #15

Ivan does laps around a circular park which has a radius of 300 meters.

He completes 5 full circuits in 35 minutes.

What was Ivan's average speed?

300300300

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll go through the following steps:

  • Calculate the circumference of the circular park.
  • Determine the total distance Ivan runs.
  • Find Ivan's average speed.

Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circular park.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=2πr C = 2\pi r , where r r is the radius.
Given r=300 r = 300 meters, C=2π×300=600π C = 2\pi \times 300 = 600\pi meters.

Step 2: Determine the total distance Ivan runs.
Ivan completes 5 laps, so the total distance D D is given by:
D=5×600π=3000π D = 5 \times 600\pi = 3000\pi meters.

Step 3: Find Ivan's average speed.
The formula for average speed is v=total distancetotal time v = \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}} .
Total time = 35 minutes.
Average speed v=3000π35269.14 v = \frac{3000\pi}{35} \approx 269.14 meters per minute.

Therefore, Ivan's average speed is 269.14 269.14 meters per minute.

Answer

269.14 meter per minute
