An inchworm ran into a log while on his way to the raspberry patch. The diameter of the log is 32 cm. How far did the inchworm travel while on the log? Round your answer to the nearest centimeter. A. 36 cm B. 41 cm C. 50 cm D. 100 cm

the wording of the question is the real problem, i would just go around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome to openstudy! But alas, I agree with @NoahDabreo, the question does not contain the right information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or is there a image? It would work, if the following were that the worm crawled across not across the whole length of it.

So since it is across, we want to find half of the circumference. To find the circumference, we have the circumference formula. \[C=\pi \times D\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug in 32 for D, and then just divide the resulting answer by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't forget that it wants you to round to the nearest cm. I also forgot, that just in case, check if it wants you to use 3.14. if it does, substitute 3.14 for pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get C, 50 once everything is done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 50.24
