11Problem 11
Answer
(a) Straight: ≈ 86 m (b) Radius 30 m (c) — doesn't hit 400. Adjust radius.
Full working
Total perimeter = 2 × straight + 2 × semicircle = 2L + 2π r = 400. The track must fit in 100 m × 60 m. End radius is at most 30 m (so circle width is at most 60 m). Total: . So . But L can't exceed 100. So with radius 30 m, fit constraint violated — must reduce r. Compromise: try : — also too long. The straight track length needs to be > 100 m → the design constraint conflicts. **Conclusion**: a strict 400 m oval track can't fit inside 100 m × 60 m; need larger field.
