A bicycle wheel travels about 82 inches in 1 full rotation. What is the diameter of the wheel, to the nearest inch?
What is 82inches divided by PI?
26inch
To find the diameter of the wheel, we can use the formula: Circumference = π × Diameter. In this case, the circumference is given as 82 inches for one full rotation.
Let's solve for the diameter:
Circumference = π × Diameter
82 inches = 3.14 × Diameter
Now, divide both sides of the equation by π (approximately 3.14):
82 inches ÷ 3.14 ≈ 26.1146 inches
Therefore, the diameter of the wheel is approximately 26.1146 inches. Rounded to the nearest inch, the diameter of the wheel is 26 inches.
