Step-by-step explanation

The distance d travelled by point P after a revolution by an angle θ is given by the length of the arc travelled by point P. This distance is given by:


\text{ distance }=\text{ arc length }=r*θ.

Where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the angle of the revolution in radians.

Now, in this case, we have r = 1 foot. Replacing this value in the equation above, we get:


\text{ distance }=(1\text{ ft})*θ=θ\text{ ft.}

So we see that the distance travelled (in ft) by the point P is just the magnitude of the angle θ (in radians).

Answer

The distance travelled by point P is given by the length of arc travelled, which is given by:


\text{ distance }=\text{ arc length =}r*θ=\text{ 1 ft}*\text{ }θ\text{ }=θ\text{ ft.}
