Answer

$L=\frac{\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}}{\ln(5)}\left[5^{2\pi}-1\right]$

Work Step by Step

The required length is: $$L=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(5^{\theta})^{2}+(\ln(5)5^{\theta})^{2}}d\theta$$ $$L=\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(5^{\theta})^{2}}d\theta$$ $$L=\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}\int_{0}^{2\pi}5^{\theta}d\theta$$ $$L=\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}\left[\frac{1}{\ln(5)}5^{\theta}\right]_{0}^{2\pi}$$ $$L=\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}\left[\frac{1}{\ln(5)}5^{2\pi}-\frac{1}{\ln(5)}5^{0}\right]$$ $$L=\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}\left[\frac{1}{\ln(5)}5^{2\pi}-\frac{1}{\ln(5)}\right]$$ $$L=\frac{\sqrt{1+(\ln(5))^{2}}}{\ln(5)}\left[5^{2\pi}-1\right]$$
