A person six feet tall walks around the earth. Assuming the earth is a perfect sphere, how many feet farther does the top of this person's head travel than the bottoms of his feet? Express your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
A person six feet tall walks around the earth. Assuming the earth is a perfect sphere, how many feet farther does the top of this person's head travel than the bottoms of his feet? Express your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
\(C_{feet}=d\pi\)
\(C_{top} =(d+2\cdot\ 6\ feet)\cdot\pi=d\pi+12\ feet\cdot \pi\)
\(C_{top}-C_{feet}=d\pi+12\ feet\cdot \pi-d\pi\)
\(C_{top}-C_{feet}=12\ feet\cdot \pi\)
