Question 936497
 Runners running on a curved track starting point is staggered.
 This is so each runner runs the same distance to the finish line.
 If the radius of the inside is x and each lane is 2.5 feet wide, how far apart should the officials start the runners in the two inside lanes?
:
The diameter of the outside lane is 5' greater than the inside lane
Therefore the difference in circumference: {{{pi*5}}} = 15.7 ft
:
The outer runner should start 15.7 ft ahead of the inner runner
