Question

Suppose the tire has a diameter of 4.6 feet. How far does the car roll when the wheel turns 337 degrees? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

13.5 feet

Explanation:

First, find the circumference

4.6 *
`\pi` =14.4513

Then set up a proportion to find how far the wheel turns in the given angle let x be the distance the wheel has rolled

`(14.4513)/(360) =(x)/(337)`

solve for x

x=13.528

Round to nearest tenth

13.5
