Answer:
We need to find the circumference, and in order to find the circumference we must know the formula for it.
Formula for circumference of a circle;
a = 2πr
Where π is the pi(3.14 or 22/7), and r is the radius which is half of the diameter.
Since we are given the diameter, we need to find the radius. So 1/2 of the diameter (26 x 1/2) = is 13
Now we just plug in the actual values in the formula:
a = 2πr
a = 2 x 3.14 x 13
a = <u>18.84 feet</u>
But now, we need to find how many revolutions it would take to get to 500 feet.
So we divide 500 feet by 18.84 feet;
500/18.84 = 26.53, around 27 revolutions.
, or .9, however you would like to put it.
