Answer:

Option C. 13.3 in.

Step-by-step 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 * 3.14 * r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28 * r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r = (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.
