Answer: 800pi inches
=======================================
Explanation:
The formula to find the circumference of a circle is
C = pi*d
where
C = distance around the circle (aka circumference)
pi = 3.14 approximately
d = diameter
We know that the diameter of the wheel is d = 8, so
C = pi*d
C = pi*8
C = 8pi
is the circumference of the wheel
One full rotation will have the wheel cover a distance of 8pi inches. Imagine that wet paint is on the outer surface of the wheel. If the wheel is rolled out in a straight line, then the wet paint would cover a linear distance of 8pi inches along the flat ground. This is one full rotation, so 100 rotations covers 100*8pi = 800pi inches
Note: if we use pi = 3.14 as the approximation, then the hamster ran approximately 800*pi = 800*3.14 = 2512 inches if the wheel could move
Mentally, they are numbers in which you can do mental math with since they are whole numbers
X + 1 + X + 1 + X +1+ X +1 = 2X -3+ 2X -3+ X -1+ X -1
4x + 4 = 4x-6+2x-2
4x+4=6x-8
12=2x
6=x
Side lengths:
6-1=5
6+1=7
2(6)-3=9
Hope that helps! Stay safe!
