Answer:

The car moves approximately 53.38 inches.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Radius of tire = 17 inches

The wheels of an automobile turn one​-half of a revolution.

One revolution is of
2\pi.

one​-half of a revolution is will be of:


(1)/(2)* 2\pi = \pi

Relation between arc length, angle measure and radius is:


s = r\theta = 17\pi = 53.38

Thus, the car moves approximately 53.38 inches.
