Question

What distance does an object travel in one lap around a circle?

Answer 1

An object taking one lap around the circle will be covering a distance equal to the circumference of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation

1 lap around a circle means one complete rotation of a track which is circular. So the distance covered in covering one complete circle will be equal to the circle circumference.

Let us consider, R as the circle radius, then the distance covered by an object for a single lap will be equal to the circle circumference which is equal to 2πR.

Answer 2

Let say the circle is of radius R

then one lap is means the total distance the total length of the circle

here the length of circle is same as circumference

so it is given as

`L = 2\pi R`

So here the length of lap is given as length of circle which is given as above
