the tire for a ten speed bicycle has a diameter of 27 inches find the distance traveled after 10 rotations
The circumference of the tire is pi*27 which also has 10 rotations giving the distance traveled 27pi * 10= 270 pi inches traveled.
Hope it helps!
i thought i had to change 27 into its radious... or do i just not do that? this thing confuses the heck outa me
The circumference is 2 * radius * pi or diameter * pi. Since the diameter is twice the radius, there is no need to convert the diameter to the radius.
