Question

A unicycle wheel makes five rotations. The unicycle travels 37.94 feet. Find the diameter of the wheel in inches. Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest tenth of an inch

Answer 1

Answer:

12.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given for 5 rotations made the unicycle travels 37.94 feet

We know that the distance travelled by the cycle = $number of rotation \times circumference$

Let the radius of the unicycle be r

Circumference = 2πr

Given $5\times 2πr=37.94$

$2r=\frac{37.94}{3.14}$

diameter = 2r

d = 12.1 feet

Therefore the diameter of the unicycle is 12.1 feet
