<div>A running track is the ring formed by two concentric circles. If the circumferences of the two circles differ by <math>10\pi </math> feet, how wide is the track in feet?<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
We notice that since the running track is simply the area of the outer circle that is outside of the inner circle, the radius of the larger circle must be precisely <math>10</math> feet larger than the radius of the smaller circle. <br />
<br />
Since the circumference of a circle is calculated as <math>2\pi{r}</math> where <math>r</math> is the radius, we know that the circumference of the smaller circle is <math>2\pi{r}</math> and the circumference of the larger circle is <math>2\pi(r+10)=2\pi{r}+20\pi</math>. <br />
<br />
The difference between the circumferences is <math>2\pi{r}+20\pi-2\pi{r}=20\pi\approx20\cdot3=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 60\text{ feet}}</math>.<br />
