the distance from the ground to the bottom of the car is equal to half the height of the tire. Each tire has a circumference of 9.42 feet.
How far is the bottom of the car from the ground?
can someone help I have to submit this quiz soon and im stuck please and thank you😃
To find the distance from the ground to the bottom of the car, we need to first find the height of the tire and then calculate half of that height. Let's go through the steps:
1. Use the formula for the circumference of a circle: circumference = 2Ï€r, where r is the radius of the circle (in this case, the tire).
2. Divide the given circumference of 9.42 feet by 2Ï€ to find the radius of the tire.
radius = circumference / (2Ï€)
radius = 9.42 ft / (2 * 3.14159)
radius ≈ 1.5 feet
3. Multiply the radius by 2 to find the height of the tire.
height of tire = 2 * radius
height of tire ≈ 2 * 1.5 ft
height of tire ≈ 3 feet
4. Finally, divide the height of the tire by 2 to find the distance from the ground to the bottom of the car.
distance from ground to bottom of car = height of tire / 2
distance from ground to bottom of the car ≈ 3 ft / 2
distance from ground to bottom of the car ≈ 1.5 feet
Therefore, the bottom of the car is approximately 1.5 feet from the ground.
you need the radius of a circle with a 9.42 ft circumference
radius = circumference / (2 π)
