Question

3. What is the distance around one of the semicircles at either end of the soccer field? HINT: You

need circumference, which is pi x d. So you will need 40 and pi. Since you only want one, you
will need to divide by 2.
1/2 pi d
c= (1/2(40)(pi) =

Answer 1

The distance around one of the semicircles at either end of the soccer field is:

c = 1/2 * pi * d

where d is the diameter of the semicircle, which is equal to the width of the soccer field, 40 yards.

c = 1/2 * pi * 40

c = 20 * pi

Using a calculator, we get:

c ≈ 62.83 yards (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the distance around one of the semicircles at either end of the soccer field is approximately 62.83 yards.
