Before we begin, let's cross out "the small wheel could have an 18 inch diameter". This is useless information and should be disregarded to avoid confusion. Lots of questions include extraneous information to make you second guess yourself, so it is important to be aware of what the question is asking you and what you need in order to answer it.
The formula for circumference is
x diameter. With this formula, we can substitute the value of the diameter, 52, into the equation.
Circumference = 3.14 x 52
Circumference = 163.28
Final Answer: the circumference of the big wheel is 163.28 inches

Answer:
cos(θ) = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can think of this situation as a triangle rectangle (you can see it in the image below).
Here, we have a triangle rectangle with an angle θ, such that the adjacent cathetus to θ is 3 units long, and the cathetus opposite to θ is 4 units long.
Here we want to find cos(θ).
You should remember:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
We already know that the adjacent cathetus is equal to 3.
And for the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, this is:
3^2 + 4^2 = H^2
We can solve this for H, to get:
H = √( 3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5
The hypotenuse is 5 units long.
Then we have:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
cos(θ) = 3/5
