A circular wheel of radius r rolls, without slipping, through half a revolution.
The point X is on the horizontal diameter at the start.
The distance between the starting and finishing position of the point X is?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


As it is known,  any diameter of a circle has  2  (two)  endpoints.

Respectively,  there are  2  different possible positions of the point  X  at the start,  and,  respectively,
two different final positions,  giving two possible different answers.

So,  if you want to get a unique answer,  you must specify the initial condition in more accurate fashion.
