We can use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the distance point A travels in one rotation of the fan's blade. The distance traveled is the same as the circumference of the circle with radius 9.5 in., which is:

C = 2 * pi * r
C = 2 * pi * 9.5
C = 59.69 in.

So point A travels a distance of approximately 59.69 inches in one rotation of the fan's blade.

Answer:

About 59.66 inch

Explanation:

To find the circumference you first have to find the diameter which is the double the radius. Since 9.5 is the radius of this circle, the diameter is, 9.5x2=19.

With the diameter of 19, you multiply the 19 with pie which is approximately 3.14. The answer is 19x3.14=59.66
