Answer:
The linear speed is
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the circumference of the circle
The circumference is equal to
we have
substitute
step 2
Find the linear speed in feet per minute
we know that
The wheel is rotating at 10 revolutions per minute
Convert revolutions to feet
Remember that
One revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle
so
10 revolutions is equal to
therefore
The linear speed is
Answer: Choice A) 15 feet
=====================================
x = length of fourth side in quadrilateral ABCD
Have a look at the attached image I've posted. I made a chart that lines up the side lengths from largest to smallest. Note how the first two items in the bottom row are blank. We don't know these values and we don't need to find out in order to find x.
Based on the last two columns of that table, we can form the proportion below, which is then used to isolate x.
30/12 = x/6
30*6 = 12*x ... cross multiply
180 = 12*x
12*x = 180
x = 180/12 ... divide both sides by 12
x = 15
