Given that the radius of a semicircular ends of a track are 32 meters, how long must each straightway be to make a 400 meter track?
:
Find the total circumference of the two semi-circles
C+=+2%2Api%2A32
C = 201 meters
Find the total length of the straightaways
400 - 201 = 199 meters
Find the length of each straightaway
199/2 = 99.5 meters
