Question 1072724: A circular concrete patio has a circumference of about 1,400 feet. A gardener walks directly across the patio along a radius at a rate of 1.5 feet per second. How long does it take him to get from the edge of the patio to the plant at the center?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using C=2πr, we have:
1400=2πr
r=1400/2π
r=111.4 ft.
111.4/1.5=75.28 seconds before the gardener reaches the plant at the center. ☺☺☺☺
