Question

the diameter of your bicycle wheel is 34 inches.What is its radius?How far will you move in one turn if your wheel?What is the distance covered in 5 turns of one wheel

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is always half the radius.

Thus, in this case, the radius is (1/2)(34 in) = 17 in.

The "how far" question is answerable by finding the circumference of the wheel.  The circumference, C, is found by calculating C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle in question.

Here, C = (34 in)π, which comes out to 106.81 inches.  The bike will move 106.81 inches forward if the wheel turns once.

If the wheel turns 5 times, the total distance traveled is 5 times the circumference, or 5(106.81 in) = 534.07 in.
