In a right circular cone of wood, the radius of the circumference $T$ of the base circle measures $10$ cm, while every point on said circumference is $20$ cm away. from the apex of the cone. A red ant and a termite are located at antipodal points of $T$. A black ant is located at the midpoint of the segment that joins the vertex with the position of the termite. If the red ant moves to the black ant's position by the shortest possible path, how far does it travel?
