The radius of a tire is 1.2 feet. How far will you travel after ten complete rotations of the tire?
C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 2.4
C = ______ feet
Multiply the circumference by 10.
C= 75.36 ft. But may I ask how you got 2.4 which you multiplied by 3.14?
The radius is half the diameter.
The circumference can't be 75 feet. 2 times 3 is normally 6 -- so the radius must be 7.536 feet.
My mistake. Sorry.
2(3.142)(1.2)
=7.5408*10
75.408
To find out how far you will travel after ten complete rotations of the tire, you can use the formula:
Distance = Circumference * Number of Rotations
The circumference of a circle (in this case, the tire) can be calculated using the formula:
Circumference = 2 * π * Radius
Given that the radius of the tire is 1.2 feet, we can substitute this value into the formula and find the circumference:
Circumference = 2 * π * 1.2
= 2 * 3.14159 * 1.2
= 7.53982 feet (approximately)
Now that we know the circumference of the tire, we can calculate the distance you will travel after ten complete rotations:
Distance = 7.53982 feet * 10
= 75.3982 feet
Therefore, you will travel approximately 75.3982 feet after ten complete rotations of the tire.
