Question

the spoke of a wheel reaches from the center of the wheel to its rim if the circumference of the rim of the wheel is 48 inches how long is each spoke use 3.14 for pie and round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

the formula for circumference is: c=2πr. since we know the circumference we can solve for r.
r=48/2π
r=24/π
r=7.64 inches
Since each spoke for the wheel is basically the radius, each spoke has a length of 7.64 inches.
