A circular merry-go-round has a radius of 5 feet. Find the distance of a spin of one full rotation. Use 3.14 for pi and round the answer to nearest tenths. *
A 15.7 ft
B 78.5 ft
C 31.4 ft
D 28 ft

Option C

The distance of a spin of one full rotation is 31.4 feet

Solution:

Given that,

A circular merry-go-round has a radius of 5 feet

Radius = 5 feet

We have to find the distance of spin for one full rotation

Distance covered in 1 full of rotation is equal to circumference of circle

The circumference of circle is given as:

[tex]C = 2 \pi r[/tex]

Where "r" is the radius

[tex]C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5\\\\C = 6.28 \times 5\\\\C = 31.4[/tex]

Thus the distance of a spin of one full rotation is 31.4 feet
