If a wheel has a radius of 3 in how far will it travel in 30 revolutions?

1 answer:

5 0

ANSWER:

180π units

The distance the wheel will travel in 30 revolutions is 180π units.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The shape of a wheel is circular.

To find the distance the wheel will travel for 30 revolutions, we must first find the distance it will travel for 1 revolution.

1 revolution of the wheel would be equivalent to the circumference of the wheel as it is a circle.

Therefore, we will require the formula for the circumference of a circle in order to solve this question.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is displayed below:

Let C = circumference of circle

C = 2πr OR C = πd

Where r = radius of circle

Where d = diameter of circle

Using this, we will substitute the given value from the problem into the formula to obtain the distance the wheel will travel for 1 revolution.

Let d = distance the wheel will travel for 1 revolution

r = 3 units

d = 2πr

THEREFORE:

d = 2π( 3 )

d = 6π units

In order to obtain the distance the wheel will travel for 30 revolutions, we simply have to multiply the distance the wheel will travel for 1 revolution ( as given above ) by 30.

Let x = distance the wheel will travel for 30 revolutions

x = d × 30

x = 6π × 30

x = 180π units

Bajo del Gualicho has an elevation of - 72 meters. Lago Enriquillo has an elevation of - 46 meters. Note

Answer: Bajo del Gualicho has a higher elevation than Lago Enriquillo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this case the "elevations" are negative because are under sea level, we can call it depth.

In this sense, we are given the "elevations" or depths of two places:

Bajo del Gualicho: -72 m

Lago Enriquillo: -46 m

Keeping in mind we are actually talking about the depth of this places, we can say Bajo del Gualicho is deeper than Lago Enriquillo, and this is best expressed with the following inequality:

$G>E$
