Algebra.Com's Answer #59088 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a boat that is pulling a water skier drives in a circle that has a radius of 80 feet. The skier is moving outside the path of the boat in a circle that has a radius of 110 feet. Find the distance traveled by the boat when it has completed a full circle. How much further has the skier traveled? \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Formula: Circumference = 2(pi)r \n" ); document.write( "Boat distance = 2(pi)80' = 260pi ft \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Skier distance = 2(pi)(80+110) = 2(pi)190 = 380(pi) ft. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "How much further did the skier travel? \n" ); document.write( "380(pi)-260(pi)= 120(pi) ft. \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
