We are given the diameter and height of the tire.
Diameter = 29 in
Height = 8 in
Recall that the surface area of a cylindrical shape is given by
Where r is the radius.
We know that the radius is half of the diameter.
So the surface area becomes
Substitute the values of diameter and height.
Finally, multiply the surface area by 5 times
Therefore, the tire has covered 10249.4 square inches of space.
