Question

A bicycle wheel makes five rotations. The bicycle travels ft. Find the diameter of the wheel in inches. Use 3.14 for .

Answer 1

`r=(L)/(2pi R)`

Diameter=2r

inches=12*ft

Explanation:

You forgot to say how far the bike travels.

Given R rotations, L feet, and a wheel radius of r, then the relationship is

`L=2\pi rR`

Solving this for r gives

`r=(L)/(2pi R)`

Diameter=2r

inches=12*ft
