Answer :
(a)Distance covered by the ant to take a round:
\(=\frac{1}2\times2\pi r+2r\)
\(=\pi r+2r\)
\(=\frac{22}7\times1.4+2\times1.4\)
\(=22\times 0.2+2.8\)
\(=4.4+2.8=7.2cm\)
(b)Distance covered by the ant to take a round:
\(=\frac{1}2 \times 2\pi r+1.5+1.5+2.8\)
\(=\pi r+5.8\)
\(=\frac{22}7\times 0.2+5.8\)
\(=4.4+5.8\)
\(=10.2cm\)
(c)Distance covered by the ant to take a round:
\(=\frac{1}2 \times 2\pi r+2+2\)
\(=\pi r+4\)
\(=\frac{22}7\times 1.4+4\)
\(=4.4+4\)
\(=8.4cm\)
So, among all the given paths, in path (b) ant has to travel a larger distance for food piece than others.
