The circumference of the circle is feet (where is approximately 3.14)
The symbol is pi

So in one full 360 degree revolution, the rider travels feet

In 10 revolutions, the rider travels feet (because 80*10 = 800, then just tack on the )

The exact answer is . If you use the approximation , then the approximate answer is 2512 because 800*pi=800*3.14 = 2512. The units of this answer is "feet".

In one revolution, the rider travels one circumference or , where d is the diameter:
ft
Ten revolutions is therefore ft, which is approx. 2513.3ft. (a little less than 1/2 mile)
