jerry is building a model car. The picture shows one of the wheels for the car. The wheel has a diameter of 30 millimeters. Which is the closest distance around the outside edge of the wheel?
The closest distance around the outside edge of the wheel is the circumference of the wheel.
The formula for calculating the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
Given that the diameter of the wheel is 30 millimeters, we can substitute this value into the formula:
C = π(30 mm) ≈ 94.25 mm (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, the closest distance around the outside edge of the wheel is approximately 94.25 millimeters.
