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?

Answer:

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
