Question

The spoke of a wheel reaches from the center of the wheel to its rim. If the circumference of the rim of the wheel is 42 inches, how long is each spoke? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To get the length of a spoke, you would divide 42 by pi (giving you diameter), then divide that number by 2 (to get the radius). (42/pi)/2=6.68
This is your answer.

I hope this helps!
