Question

a wheel is made of a circular rim and 8 spokes as shown the length of each spoke is 37cm work out the total length of the rim and spokes

Answer 1

Total length of the rim = 232.36 cm (Approx.)

Total length of the rim and spokes = 296 cm (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of spokes = 8

Length of spokes = 37 cm

Radius of wheel = Length of spokes = 37 cm

Find:

Total length of the rim and spokes

Computation:

Total length of the rim = 2πr

Total length of the rim = 2(3.14)(37)

Total length of the rim = 232.36 cm (Approx.)

Total length of spokes = 8 x 37

Total length of the rim and spokes = 296 cm (Approx.)
