Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the pre-calculus version of the arc length problem. The formula we need for this is:
[tex]s=r\theta[/tex]
where s is the arc length (here, the distance she has to travel to get the gum off the tire), r is the radius, and theta is the angle given (the angle here always always has to be in radians!!!) Filling in accordingly, we get
[tex]s=(6.5)(\frac{37\pi }{90})[/tex]
Do the math. You need the answer rounded to the nearest inch, so that means you have to multiply in the pi (I used 3.1415):
s = 8 inches
