Amy and Fraser walk inside a circular lawn. Point B is the center of the lawn, as shown below: (View picture)Amy walks from point A to point B along the segment AB. Fraser walks from point A to point C along the segment AC. Which statement is correct?A. Amy walks a distance equal to the diameter, and Fraser walks a distance equal to the radius of the lawn.B. Both Amy and Fraser walk distances equal to the radius of the lawn.C. Both Amy and Fraser walk distances equal to the diameter of the lawn.D. Amy walks a distance equal to the radius, and Fraser walks a distance equal to the diameter of the lawn.

Question

Answer:

In the image the diameter of the circle is the segment AC, whereas the radius of the center is either the segment AB or the segment CB. Since Amy walks from pint A to point B, she walks a distance equal to the radius of the center. Fraser on the other hand walks the entire diameter of the circle since he walks form point A to point C.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: D. Amy walks a distance equal to the radius, and Fraser walks a distance equal to the diameter of the lawn.
