Answer:

The radius is equal to
(30)/(pi) or about 9.5 inches

Explanation:

A revolution is the same as the circumference,

which can be found using C = 2πr

C = 2πr

60 = 2πr

(2π)r = 60

r =
(60)/(2pi)

r =
(30)/(pi) or about 9.5 inches

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
