Answer 1

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 = 18.84 feet

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.
