Find the perimeter of the 11 ft radius circle, then double it (for figure eight).
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a circle is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bc%5D=2%2Api%2AR\"
\n" ); document.write( "so the perimeter of the figure eight is,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B8%5D=2%2AP%5Bc%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B8%5D=4%2Api%2AR\"
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, R=11,
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B8%5D=4%2Api%2A11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B8%5D=44%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using \"pi=3.14\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B8%5D=138.16\"
\n" ); document.write( "The skater travels 138.16 feet once around the figure eight.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
