Answer:

  • In 10 rotations, we will travel 44000/7 ft. or 6285.714 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 1 Rotation: 2πr
  • => 1 Rotation: 2 x 22/7 x 100
  • => 10 Rotations: 2 x 22/7 x 100 x 10
  • => 10 Rotations: 44/7 x 100 x 10
  • => 10 Rotations: 44000/7
  • => 10 Rotations = 44000/7 = 6285.71428571 ft. (Using Calculator)
  • => 10 Rotations = 44000/7 = 6285.714 (Estimated)

Conclusion:

Therefore, in 10 rotations, we will travel 44000/7 ft. or 6285.714 ft.

Hoped this helped.
