A race car drove around a circular track that was 0.4 mile. If 1 mile = 5,280 feet, what is the radius of the track, in feet? Use π = 3.14 and round to the nearest hundredth.

107.11 feet
214.21 feet
336.31 feet
672.61 feet

Answer: First, we need to convert 0.4 mile to feet by multiplying it by 5,280:

0.4 mile * 5,280 feet/mile = 2,112 feet

Next, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle, C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.

We know that the distance around the circular track is 2,112 feet, so we can set up the equation:

2πr = 2,112

Simplifying the equation, we can divide both sides by 2π:

r = 2,112 / (2π)

Using π = 3.14 and rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:

r ≈ 336.31 feet

Therefore, the radius of the track is approximately 336.31 feet.

Answer: 336.31 feet
