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.
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
