Question

a street that is 116 M long is covered in snow. City workers are using a snow plow to clear the street. A tire on the snow plow house to turn 29 x and traveling the length of the street. What is the diameter of the tire. Use the value 314 for pie

Answer 1

Let diameter of the tire be D.
It turned 29 times and travelled 116 m in distance.

Using the circumference formula,
116=29(2 π r) = 29*(π D) = 29(3.14 D)
Solve for D
D=116/(3.14*29) =  1.274 m.

Answer: The diameter of the tire is 1.27 m (to three significant figures)
