A puppy is tied to a leash in a backyard. His leash is 3 meters long,and he runs around in circles pulling the leash as far as it can go. What is the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap?

Answer 1

The puppy runs around in a circle with a diameter of 3 meters (the length of the leash). To calculate the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap (circumference), we use the formula:

Circumference = π x diameter
Circumference = π x 3 meters
Circumference ≈ 9.42 meters

Therefore, the puppy runs approximately 9.42 meters in one lap.
