we know that
[length of a circumference]=2*pi*r
diameter=90 cm-------------> r=d/2--------> r=45 cm
[length of a circumference]=2*pi*45----------> 90*pi cm

with 1 revolution will go the length of the wheel

if 1 revolution is-------------------> 90*pi cm
5 revolution is--------------------> X
X=5*90*pi----------> 1413 cm

the answer is 1413 cm
