The radius of the wheel of a bicycle is 14 inches. What is the distance, in feet, that the bicycle covers after ten full rotations of the wheels? Use π = 3.14.

the circumference of a circle is C=2*pi*r

so for the tire C=2*pi*14 or 28pi

so 10 rotation would be 10 times the circumference

28pi*10=280pi or 879.65ft
