Question

A hockey puck has a diameter of 3 inches and rolls on its edge for 24 rotations. How far did it roll before falling flat?

Answer 1

Find the circumference of the puck using circumference = pi x diameter

Circumference = 3.14 x 3 = 9.42 inches.

For every rotation the puck would travel 9.42 inches.

Now multiply y by 24 rotations:

9.42 x 24 = 226.08 inches.

Answer: 226.08 inches
