Thomas is training for a 3.1-mile race by running on a circular path. He knows that it is 0.75 miles from the tree in the center of the circular path to the path. How long is the path?

Radius of circular path = distance from path to the tree in the centre

Radius of circular path = 0.75 miles

Length of path = Circumference of path(circle)

Circumference of the circular path :

Thus, the circumference of the circular path = 4.71 miles

Therefore, the circular path is 4.71 miles long.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
