Question 19 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

Mei and Anju are sitting next to each other on different horses on a carousel. Mei’s horse is 3 meters from the center of the carousel. Anju’s horse is 2 meters from the center. After one rotation of the carousel, how many more meters has Mei traveled than Anju?

Answer
A
pi more meters
B
2 pi more meters
C
5 pi more meters
D
4 pi more meters

Explanation

In one rotation, each horse travels one circle’s circumference, which is 2π times its distance from the center. Mei travels 2π × 3 = 6π meters, while Anju travels 2π × 2 = 4π meters. The difference is 6π − 4π = 2π meters, so the answer is A, 2π more meters.
