Explanation:
It is given that,
Diameter of the peach pie, d = 9 inches
Radius of the pie, r = 4.5 inches
The tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie plate moves through a distance of 183 inches, d = 183 inches
Let [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angular distance that the pie plate has moved through.
It is given by :
[tex]\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=\dfrac{183}{4.5}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=40.66\ radian[/tex]
Since, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees
[tex]\theta=2329.64\ degrees[/tex]
Since, 1 radian = 0.159155 revolution
[tex]\theta=6.47124\ revolution[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
