Question

3. A bicycle wheel has a radius of 225 mm and has 25 equally spaced spokes. What is the approximate arc length, rounded to the nearest hundredth, between each spoke? Use 3.14 for pie Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer: 56.52mm

Explanation:

The circumference of the wheel is:

C = 2 * pi * r

C = 2 * 3.14 * 225

C = 1413 mm

And the arc length between each spoke would then be:

Arc Length = C / 25

Arc Length = 1413 / 25

Arc Length = 56.52 mm

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the approximate arc length between each spoke is 56.52 mm.
