Answer:

396 cm

Explanation:

You want the distance traveled by a wheel of radius 21 cm in 3 revolutions.

Circumference

The circumference of the wheel is ...

C = 2πr

C = 2π(21 cm) = 42π cm

Revolutions

In 3 revolutions of the wheel, it travels 3 times that distance, or ...

3(42π cm) = 126π cm ≈ 396 cm

The distance traveled is about 396 cm.

Additional comment

The value shown is rounded to the nearest centimeter. The attachment shows the value to higher precision, for the usual approximations of pi.
