The distance around the wheel of a truck is 9.42 feet. What is the diameter of the wheel?

1 answer

To find the diameter of the wheel, we first need to find the circumference of the wheel using the formula:

Circumference = π * diameter

Given that the circumference of the wheel is 9.42 feet, we can plug in the values to solve for the diameter:

9.42 = π * diameter

Solving for diameter:

diameter = 9.42 / π
diameter ≈ 3.0 feet

Therefore, the diameter of the wheel is approximately 3.0 feet.
