Answer:

Explanation:

To find the total area of the track, we need to calculate the area of each section and then add them together.

Area of a semi-circle with radius 31m:

A = (1/2)πr^2

A = (1/2)π(31m)^2

A = 4795.4m^2

Area of a rectangle with length 92.7m and width 31m (the straight parts):

A = lw

A = (92.7m)(31m)

A = 2873.7m^2

To find the total area, we need to add the areas of the two semi-circular ends and the two straight sections:

Total area = 2(Area of semi-circle) + 2(Area of rectangle)

Total area = 2(4795.4m^2) + 2(2873.7m^2)

Total area = 19181.6m^2

Rounding this to 1 decimal place, we get:

Total area ≈ 19181.6 m^2

Therefore, the total area of the track is approximately 19181.6 square meters.
