Answer: 2.17 feet

Explanation:

First find the circumference of the cycle.

The bicycle made five rotations and that covered 34.02 feet. The rotation (circumference) of the cycle is the single rotation distance:

= 34.02 / 5

= 6.804 ft

Circumference = Pie * Diameter

6.804 = 3.14 * Diameter.

Diameter = 6.804 / 3.14

= 2.17 feet
