Question

The radius of a wheel is 21m.how much distance will it covers when it rotates 5 times?​

Answer 1

Distance = 660 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 21 m

Number of revolutions = 5 times

To find the distance covered;

The distance covered in one revolution is given by the circumference of a circle.

Mathematically, circumfeence of a circle is equal to;

C = 2πr

Substituting into the formula, we have;

C = 2 * 22/7 * 21

C = 44 * 3

C = 132 meters

Next, we find the distance covered;

Distance = Circumference * Number of revolutions

Distance = 132 * 5

Distance = 660 meters
