Question 254863: you are in charge of constructing a fence around the running track at a high school. the fence is to be built around the track so that there is a uniform gap between the outside edge of the track and the fence.
a. what is the maximum width of the gap between the track and the fence if no more than 630 meters of fencing is used? (hint: use the equation for the circumference of a circle.)

This not a linear equation since it involves a circle.
We can't calculate a gap because we don't know the size of the track. We can calculate a fence of 630 meters.
630 =pi*r^2 could have up to a radius of 14.161
