Answer 1

Answer:

The distance bicycle tire travels is 1946.8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of bicycle tire = 62 cm.

The bicycle tire travels in 10 revolutions.

Now, to find the distance the bicycle tire travels in 10 revolutions.

Diameter = 62 cm.

Radius (r) = $\frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{62}{2}=31\ cm.$

So, we get the circumference first by putting formula:

$Circumference =2\pi r$

$Circumference =2\times 3.14\times 31\\\\Circumference =194.68\ cm.$

Thus, we get the circumference of tire 194.68 cm.

Number of revolutions the tire travels = 10.

Now, to get the distance the bicycle tire travels we multiply circumference of tire by number of revolutions the tire travels:

$194.68\ cm\times 10\\\\=1946.8\ cm.$

Therefore, the distance bicycle tire travels is 1946.8 cm.
