Question

The distance from the center of an archery target to the outside edge of the target is 24 in. What is the diameter of the target?

Answer 1

The diameter of the target is
`48\ in`

Explanation:

we know that

In this problem the distance from the center of an archery target to the outside edge of the target is equal to the radius of the target

so

`r=24\ in`

Remember that

The diameter is two times the radius

`D=2r`

substitute

`D=2(24)=48\ in`
