Question

The circumference of Tyler's bike tire is 72 inches. What is the diameter of the tire?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The diameter is 22.92 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this question

in this case we know the circumference of a circle, and we need to find out the diameter.

let's remember

the radius of a circle can be defined as

$radius=\frac{diameter}{2}\\ or\\diameter=2* radius( equation\ 1)$

also

$circumference=2*\pi *radius(equation2)$

Step1

replace the value of the circumference of tyler's bike in equation 2  and isolate radius to find radius

$72 inches=2*\pi *radius\\\\radius=\frac{72}{2*\pi } \radius =11.46\ inches$

Step 2

now, replace the value of radius into equation 1 to find diameter

radius=11.46 in

$diameter=2* radius( equation\ 1)\\\\diameter=2*11.46\\diameter=22.92$

so, the diameter is 22.92 inches

I really hope it helps, have a great day.
