Question

An inchworm ran into a log while on his way to the raspberry patch. The diameter of the log is 32 cm. How far did the inchworm travel while on the log? Round your answer to the nearest centimeter.

Answer 1

The distance traveled by inchworm on the log is about 50 cm.

Explanation:

It is given that an inchworm ran into a log while on his way to the raspberry patch. The diameter of the log is 32 cm. It means the inchworm travel half of the circumference of the log.

The radius of the log is

`r=(d)/(2)=(32)/(2)=16`

It means the radius of the log is 16 cm.

The circumference of a circle is

`C=2\pi r`

Where, r is the radius of the circle.

Half of the circumference is

`C=\pi r`

The distance traveled by inchworm on the log is

`C=\pi (16)=50.2655`

`C=50.2655`

`C\approx 50`

Therefore the distance traveled by inchworm on the log is about 50 cm.

Answer 2

So in your question that ask to calculate how far the inch worm travels while on the log and the best answer would be 50.25 or its 4sqrt of 15 pie cm. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and if you have a clarification, feel free to ask for more .
