Question

Bilal's fishing line was on a spool with a radius of 4 cm. Suddenly, a fish pulled on the line, and the spool spun

16 times before Bilal began to reel in the fish.
What is the distance the fish pulled the fishing line?
Round your answer to the nearest cm.

Answer 1

402 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Radius = 4 cm

The Circumference of a circle :

C = 2πr

C = 2 * π * 4 = 8π

Spool is spun 16 times :

Circumference * 16

8π * 16

8 * 3.14 * 16

= 401.92

= 402 cm
