On a merry-go-round, you stand 15 feet from the center while your friend stands 10 feet from the center. How would you find how much further you travel in one revolution than your friend? What is that distance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Revolution traveled by me = 30Ï€ ft.

Revolution traveled by my friend = 20Ï€ ft.

Difference between revolutions = 10Ï€ ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In one revolution, I travel 2Ï€(15) = 30Ï€ ft., and my friend travels 2Ï€(10) = 20Ï€ ft., so my revolution is 30Ï€ - 20Ï€, or 10Ï€, ft. longer than my friend's revolution.
