Arc AC is a quarter-circle with center B . The shaded region ABC is "rolled" along a straight board PQ until it reaches its original orientation for the first time with point B landing at point B'. If BC=2/pi cm, what is the length of the path that point B travels? Express your answer in the simplest form.

The length of the path is 4*sqrt(7).

BC = 2/pi cm       (radius of the circle)

 

The length of the arc L is         L = [ 2( 2/pi )] * pi / 4       L = 1 cm

 

The length of the path that point B travel is  3L  or  3 cm
