A truck has tires of radius 2 feet. Note that one mile= 5280 feet. Find the angular distance if the truck has travelled 2 miles: in radians and in degrees
So far all we can find is:
1. number of feet traveled = 10560 ft
2. once circumference = 2π(2) = 4π
3. number of rotations = 10560/(4π) = appr 840.34 rotations
The wheels rotated through 840.23(2π) or 5280 radians
or 302521.2°
