A running track 120 meters long, the ends of the track are semicircles with diameter of 40 meters, the width of the track is 6 meters, what is the surface area of the track?
:
Something wrong here!
the circumference of the two half circles: pi%2A40 = 125.66 meters
You say the track is 120 meters long, less than the circular portion
\
Could it be the track is 1200 m long?
