Given: Matt rolls an old inflated tire in his backyard. If the outer radius of the tire is 30 centimeters and the tire completes 20 revolution.

Find: the distance that the tire travels.

Step-by-step explanation: the tire travel distance in 1 revolution is


\begin{gathered} 2\pi r \\ =2\pi*30 \\ =60\pi\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

the tired travel distance in 20 revolution is


\begin{gathered} 60\pi*20 \\ =1200\pi cm \end{gathered}

Final answer: the required answer is
