How many feet does a wheel with diameter of 13 inches travel after five revolutions

To find out how many feet a wheel with a diameter of 13 inches travels after five revolutions, you need to determine the circumference of the wheel and then multiply it by the number of revolutions. Here's how you can do that:

1. Determine the circumference of the wheel:
Circumference = π * Diameter
Since the diameter is given as 13 inches, the circumference would be:
Circumference = π * 13 inches

2. Convert the circumference from inches to feet:
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, divide the circumference by 12 to get the value in feet:
Circumference (in feet) = (Circumference (in inches)) / 12

3. Calculate the distance traveled after five revolutions:
Distance traveled = Circumference (in feet) * Number of revolutions

Now, let's plug in the values and calculate the distance:

Circumference = π * 13 inches
Circumference (in feet) = (π * 13 inches) / 12
Distance traveled = Circumference (in feet) * 5 revolutions

Note: π (pi) is approximately 3.14159, but for simplicity, let's use 3.14.

Circumference (in feet) = (3.14 * 13 inches) / 12
Circumference (in feet) ≈ 3.4058 feet

Distance traveled ≈ 3.4058 feet * 5 revolutions
Distance traveled ≈ 17.029 feet

Therefore, a wheel with a diameter of 13 inches would travel approximately 17.029 feet after five revolutions.

C = pi * d

C = 3.14 * 13
C = 40.82 inches

40.82 * 5 = 204.1 inches

204.1 / 12 = 17 feet
