Answer 1

He starts at the center of the track and walks 72 yards to ... If marshall runs around the track 5 times about how far will.

Answer 2

`2260.8 yd\\`

Explanation:

The radius of the circle around which Marshall will run will be

`= 72 yd\\`

Thus perimeter of the circular path

`= 2 \pi r\\= 2 (3.14)(72)\\= 452.16\\`

If marshall runs around the track 5 times , then he will he run

`= 5 * 452.16\\= 2260.8 yd\\`
