If the two lines have the same start and finish points (one line straight and one line curved) then
THEY ARE NOT BOTH 4 METRES LONG.
The straight line is 4 metres long, but the curved line is longer.
If you want to know how long the curved line is, then you'd have to know the radius of the curve.

If the endpoints (where you start and end) are the same, the straight line is the shortest. But if you have a curve that's x meters long and a straight line that's x meters long, you travel the same distance on either one.

The curved line is longer in terms of running a track. this is because you have to position your legs differently for grip. Thus using more energy, therefore taking longer. A straight line is simply the shorter, that's why they use it for the 100m sprint. If my answer is irrelevant to what you are asking, then I can only suggest that you elaborate a little on what you want to know.
Thanks. :D

I they are both 4 meters long then they are the same length- but a curved route is usually longer.

depends on the length of the lines- if you took two pieces of string, both 1 yard in length and laid one straight and one curved, the curved one would appear shorter and the straight one would appear longer despite the appearance- however if you are talking abou tthe shortest distance between two points- then the straight line is always going to be shorter than the curved line

Straght is longer than curved one. i.e. from Madrid to New York if you fly in straght 3707 miles. If you take a curved (geometric plane) route its 3605 miles

No mention was made that they started and finished at the same point. They are therefore the same length.

depends on which one is longer!
if they both have the same endpoints, then the straight line is the shorter path.
