The piece of gum is stuck to the rear wheel. Then the minimum height is 8ft and the maximum height is 8ft from the ground.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

It is a locus of a point drawn at an equidistant from the center. The distance from the center to the circumference is called the radius of the circle.

A rider is riding a bicycle on a 6-foot wall at a rate of 1 foot per second.

The wheels have a radius of 1 foot, and a piece of gum becomes stuck to the rear wheel as shown, continuing to travel with the bicycle.

Then the diameter of the rear wheel is 2 ft.

A rider is riding a bicycle on a 6-foot wall, therefore the height of the lowest point of the rear wheel is 6 ft from the ground. And the highest point of the rear wheel is (6 + 2 = ) 8 ft.

If the piece of gum is stuck to the rear wheel, hence the minimum height is 8ft and the maximum height is 8ft from the ground.
