Answer:
the shortest distance bug has to travel to reach honey = 25 cm
Explanation:
A hollow pipe has circumference 14 cm.
so Half circumference = 14/2 = 7 cm
Horizontal Distance between Bug & Honey = 7 cm
Drop of Honey is at 24 cm from Top
Bug is at 48 cm from Top
Vertical distance between Bug & Honey = 48 - 24 = 24 cm
Shortest Distance = Diagonal Distance
Diagonal Distance = √((horizontal distance)² + (Vertical Distance)²)
= √( 7² + 24²)
= √ (49 + 576 )
= √625
= 25
the shortest distance bug has to travel to reach honey = 25 cm
