If a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 28 inches how many revolutions does it take to travel 3 miles

1 answer:

8 0

The circumference of the tire would be: 28 x PI = 87.96 inches = 88 inches.

88 inches / 12 inches = 7.33 feet

Every revolution the tire would travel 7.33 feet.

1 mile = 5,280 feet

3 miles = 5280 x 3 = 15,840 feet total.

Divide total feet by the circumference of the tire:

15,840 / 7.33 = 2,161 revolutions.

What is the volume of the square pyramid with base edges 18 m and slant height 15 m

vlada-n [284]

check the picture below.

so it has a base of 18x18 and a height of that much.

$\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh~~ \begin{cases} B=area~of\\ \qquad its~base\\ h=height\\ ------\\ B=\stackrel{18\times 18}{324}\\ h=12 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}(324)(12)\implies V=1296$
