Question

A unicycle wheel has a diameter of 12 inches and a radius of 6 inches. how many inches will the unicycle travel in 6 revolutions?use π = 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth of an inch.

Answer 1

Answer: The circumference of the unicycle wheel is given by:

C = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 6 = 37.68 inches

In one revolution, the unicycle travels the distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. Therefore, in 6 revolutions, the unicycle will travel:

6 x 37.68 = 226.08 inches

Rounding to the nearest hundredth of an inch, we get:

226.08 ≈ 226.1 inches.

Therefore, the unicycle will travel approximately 226.1 inches in 6 revolutions.
