Answer:

The distance the fish pulled the fishing line is 401.92 cm.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of fishing spool = 4 cm.

Fish pulled on the line, and the spool spun 16 times before Bilal began to reel in the fish.

Now, to find the distance the fish pulled the fishing line.

So, to get the circumference of the spool first we put formula:

Radius(r) = 4 cm.

Value of π = 3.14.


Circumference = 2\pi r


Circumference=2* 3.14* 4


Circumference=25.12\ cm.

As given, fish pulled on the line, and the spool spun 16 times before Bilal began to reel in the fish.

Now, to get the distance the fish pulled the fishing line, we multiply 16 with the circumference:


16* 25.12\\\\=401.92\ cm.

Therefore, the distance the fish pulled the fishing line is 401.92 cm.
