Question

Melvin is pushing a tire during workout with the dimensions shown how many square inches of space has a tire covered after Melvin pushes the tire 5 times around

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, but I would show you how to solve it.

Solution:

A circle is the locus of a point such that its distance from a fixed point which is its center is always constant.

The tire has the shape of a circle. Therefore the distance the tire covers if it is pushed around once is the same as the circumference of the tire. The circumference is given by:

Circumference = 2πr; where r is the radius of the tire

Let us assume that the tire has a radius of 7 cm. Hence:

Circumference = 2π(7) = 44 cm

If the tire moves around 5 times, the distance covered = 5 * circumference of tire = 5 * 44 cm = 220 cm
