Section R.3
Geometry Essentials
Michael Sullivan
Textbook: College Algebra Edition 9
How many feet does a wheel with a diameter of 16 inches travel after 4 revolutions?
Solution:
I know that C = pi•d.
C = pi•16
C = 3.14 • 16
C = 50.24 inches
After 4 revolutions, I must calculate 4•C.
So, 4(50.24) = 200.96 inches.
How do I convert 200.96 inches to feet?
Stuck here....
Note: We are now in R.3 in the Sullivan textbook.
