Question 1132919
An oval track is made by enclosing semicircles on each end of a 48 m by 96 m rectangle. Find the area enclosed by the track.
-------------
You didn't say which ends have the semicircles.
I'll do it for the 48 m wide ends:
---------
Area of the rectangle = 48*96 sq meters
Area of the 2 semicircles = pi*24^2 sq meters
Add the 2 areas.
==================
Ikelyn's answer makes no sense.
And I quote:

"Area enclosed by the track = 48*96 + pi*(48/2)^2 + pi*(24/2)^2 square meters."

But, it's educational to get different "answers" and then figure out which might be correct.
