Question

A street that is 364 feet long is covered in snow city workers are using a snow plow to clear the street a tire on the snowplow has to turn 28 times to travel the length of the street what is the diameter of the tire use the value 3.14 for TT

Answer 1

The diameter of the tire on the snowplow is

Here, we are to calculate the diameter of the tire on the snowplow

From the question, we are told that the tire has to turn 28 times to get the entire length of the street

From here, we can get the measure of a sinngle tire turn

Mathematically, that would be;

`\frac{364\text{ ft}}{28}\text{ = 13 ft}`

What this mean is that a single turn of the tire is 13 ft

Now, we should know that a single turn equals the measure of the circumference of the tire

Mathematically, we have the formula for the circumfrence as;

`\begin{gathered} \pi* d\text{ = C} \\ d\text{ = }(C)/(\pi) \\ \\ D\text{ = }(13)/(3.14) \\ \\ D\text{ = 4.14 ft} \end{gathered}`

To the nearest ft, this is 4.1 ft
