Answer:
The distance bicycle tire travels is 1946.8 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Diameter of bicycle tire = 62 cm.
The bicycle tire travels in 10 revolutions.
Now, to find the distance the bicycle tire travels in 10 revolutions.
Diameter = 62 cm.
Radius (r) = [tex]\frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{62}{2}=31\ cm.[/tex]
So, we get the circumference first by putting formula:
[tex]Circumference =2\pi r[/tex]
[tex]Circumference =2\times 3.14\times 31\\\\Circumference =194.68\ cm.[/tex]
Thus, we get the circumference of tire 194.68 cm.
Number of revolutions the tire travels = 10.
Now, to get the distance the bicycle tire travels we multiply circumference of tire by number of revolutions the tire travels:
[tex]194.68\ cm\times 10\\\\=1946.8\ cm.[/tex]
Therefore, the distance bicycle tire travels is 1946.8 cm.
