A person walks along the actual path of a circle with a radius of 5m. If the person walks around one-half of the circle, What is the distance traveled?
1) 10m
2) 5πm
3) 5m
4) 2.5πm
To find the distance traveled by the person, we need to find the length of half the circumference of the circle.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius of the circle is 5m, the equation becomes:
C = 2π(5) = 10πm
Since the person walks around half of the circle, the distance traveled is half the circumference, which is 10π/2 = 5πm.
Therefore, the correct option is 2) 5πm.
