Question

A small car has a tire with a 13-inch diameter. A truck has a tire with a 29-inch diameter. How much farther than the car does the truck have to drive for its tire to complete one revolution?

Answer 1

50.27in

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter of small tire= 13in

Radius= 13/2= 6.5in

Circumference= 2πr

C= 2*3.142*6.5

C= 40.85 in

Diameter of Big tire= 29in

Radius= 29/2= 14.5in

Circumference= 2πr

C= 2*3.142*14.5

C= 91.118in

Hence the difference in distance between the two tires after on revolution is

=91.118-40.85

=50.27in
