Puzzle
Circumference v Chord & Radius

Circumference v Chords Edward the turtle starts at A and goes on a tour of chords from A to B to C and along the radius from C to O and back to A.
The tour takes him a certain amount of time.
He then tours the circumference of the circle, at exactly the same speed, passing through A, B, C and back to A.
Is the time shorter or longer on the circle tour? Justify.


You can copy the sample code into your offline IDE.
The use of certain modules, for example Turtle or Tkinter, work best in offline IDEs
