Given :

Han says that we can wrap a 5 foot rope around a wheel with a 2 foot rope.

To Find :

It this true or false.

Solution :

Radius of wheel, r = 1 foot.

Circumference of wheel is given by :


C = 2\pi r\\\\C = 2* 3.14* 1\\\\C = 6.28 \ foot

Since, circumference is greater than 5 foot, therefore, we cannot wrap a 5-foot rope around a wheel with a 2-foot diameter.

Hence, this is the required solution.
