A bicycle wheel makes seven revolutions. Determine how far the bicycle travels in feet. The diameter of the wheel is 35 in.​ (Use 3.14 for pi​.)

The bicycle travels

1 answer

approximately 230.7 feet.

First, we need to find the circumference of the wheel.
Circumference = π * diameter
Circumference = 3.14 * 35 in
Circumference = 109.9 in

Since the wheel makes seven revolutions, the distance traveled is:
Distance = Circumference * number of revolutions
Distance = 109.9 in * 7
Distance = 769.3 in

Converting the distance to feet:
1 foot = 12 inches
Distance = 769.3 in / 12
Distance ≈ 64.1 ft

Therefore, the bicycle travels approximately 230.7 feet.
