Question

The circumference of the bike tire above is 83.524 inches. What is the radius of the bike tire? (Use 3.14 for .) A. 262.27 in B. 41.76 in C. 13.3 in D. 26.6 in

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. 13.3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the required formula to find the radius of the bike tire :

$\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{C_{(Circle)} = 2\pi r}}}$

• C = circumference
• π = 3.14
• r = radius

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the radius of the bike tire :

$\begin{gathered} \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{C_{(Circle)} = 2\pi r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 2 \times 3.14 \times r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28 \times r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r = \frac{83.524}{6.28}}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r = 13.3 \: in}}} \\ \\ \qquad \star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{r = 13.3 \: in}}}}}\end{gathered}$

Hence, the radius of bike tire is 13.3 inches.
