Question 892011: Imagine watching a racer running around a quarter mile oval track.
- how does the distance in feet the runner has traveled around the track vary?
- how does the runner's direct distance in feet from the starting line vary?
- how do the quantities distance in feet the runner has traveled around the track and the runner's direct distance in feet from the starting line vary together?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Imagine watching a racer running around a quarter mile oval track.
- how does the distance in feet the runner has traveled around the track vary?
It's just d = r*t, the speed x the time (in whatever units)
--------------------------
- how does the runner's direct distance in feet from the starting line vary?
That's more complex. The lenght of the straight sections and the radius of the end sections have to be spec'd to get numerical values.
A general solution would take some work.

Same as the 2nd question.
