Wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 in more than wheel B in one rotation.
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of wheel A, d₁ = 25.4 in
Radius of wheel A, r₁ = 12.7 in
Diameter of wheel B = 22.5 in
Radius of Wheel B, d₂ = 11.25 in
Distance travelled by A = ?
In one rotation, the distance travelled by a wheel is equal to its circumference.
Circumference of a wheel = 2πr
Circumference of wheel A = 2πr₁
= 2 X 3.14 X 12.7 in
= 80 in
Circumference of wheel B = 2πr₂
= 2 X 3.14 X 11.25 in
= 71 in
Therefore, wheel A will travel a distance of approximately 9 (80 - 71 in) in more than wheel B in one rotation.
