Question

A tire has a radius of 7.5 inches.
How many inches will the tire travel after one rotation?

Answer 1

80

`80\pi (rad.)/(sec.)`

Explanation:

You need to calculate the circumference of this wheel to determine how far it travels with each revolution.

First, you need to know the diameter of a circle, which is the length of a straight line drawn through the circle.

You need to calculate the circumference of this wheel to determine how far it travels with each revolution.

First, you need to know the diameter of a circle, which is the length of a straight line drawn through the circle.

The magic number here is pi, which is roughly 3.14159265. The digits to the right of the decimal point continue infinitely.

Dividing a circle’s circumference by pi will give you a circle’s diameter.

Multiplying a circle’s diameter by pi will give you a circle’s circumference.
