the diameter of a bicycle wheel is 26 inches.how many feet will the bicycle travel if the wheel turns 20 times??? Is it finding the circumference and multiplying it by 20??
Do you know the difference between geography and geometry?
Yes, exactly
is it 1634
Yes, you are correct! To find out how many feet the bicycle will travel if the wheel turns 20 times, you need to calculate the distance the bicycle covers in one complete revolution, also known as the circumference of the wheel.
To calculate the circumference, you can use the formula:
Circumference = π * Diameter
Given that the diameter of the bicycle wheel is 26 inches, you can substitute the value into the formula:
Circumference = 3.14 * 26 inches
Calculating, you find:
Circumference = 81.64 inches
Now, since there are 12 inches in a foot, you can convert inches to feet by dividing the value by 12:
Circumference = 81.64 inches / 12 inches/foot
Calculating, you get:
Circumference = 6.8033 feet
Finally, to find out how many feet the bicycle will travel if the wheel turns 20 times, you multiply the circumference by 20:
Total distance = 6.8033 feet * 20 = 136.066 feet
Therefore, the bicycle will travel approximately 136.066 feet if the wheel turns 20 times.
