Question

Brayden is 5 feet 9 inches tall and does trick roping with a lasso, which is a rope with a circular loop at one end. He jumps through the loop, which has a diameter that is 1.5 times his height. What is the circumference of the loop? Write your answer in feet, using 3.14 for П.​

Answer 1

Answer: First, we need to convert Brayden's height to inches, since the diameter of the loop is given in inches.

5 feet 9 inches = (5 x 12) + 9 = 69 inches

Next, we can find the diameter of the loop:

Diameter = 1.5 x 69 inches = 103.5 inches

Finally, we can find the circumference of the loop using the formula:

Circumference = П x Diameter

Circumference = 3.14 x 103.5 inches

Circumference = 325.29 inches

To convert to feet, we divide by 12:

Circumference = 27.11 feet (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the circumference of the loop is approximately 27.11 feet.
