Although no, neither straight nor spiral is suitable, the forest can be spiral or straight. Here you should probably use some kind of self-intersecting curve to cut off areas reliably, i.e. use the fact that the forest is solid, without glades.
(4) Megamogg is in a dense forest that covers exactly 100 km2 in area. The shape of the forest is unknown, but the forest is solid, without glades. Megamogg wants to get out of the forest by walking the minimum possible distance. What minimum length (and shape) path guarantees that it will be able to find the border of the forest?
I'll try to give the answer, but it is suspiciously simple.)
A circle is a flat figure which has the following property: the perimeter of the given figure (circle) is minimal among all the figures with the given area. If we move around the circle, then by traversing the whole circle we will cut off (bypass) the area by the minimal trajectory. The area of the forest is 100 km, then Megabrain must move on a circle with radius = 10/sqrt(Pi). Hence, a path (circle) with minimum length = 20*sqrt(Pi) guarantees that it will be able to find the border of the forest.
The option is to walk in a circle with a radius of 5km. At the most, you will walk almost the entire circle (a square with a cut at the edge), i.e. approximately 31.4 km.

Right, but it's not 5.65.
Why? If the forest is a square with a small (having almost no effect on the total area) slot in the middle of one side, and MM stands in the corner of this slot, then walking on the circle inscribed in the square will come to the other side of the slot and exit into it. The radius of the inscribed circle is 5km.
And if it's round...
