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 can use the formula for the circumference of a circle: Circumference = π * diameter.

Given that the distance around the wheel is 9.42 feet, we can set up the following equation:

9.42 = π * diameter

To find the diameter, we will divide both sides of the equation by π:

diameter = 9.42 / π

diameter ≈ 9.42 / 3.14
diameter ≈ 3 feet

Therefore, the diameter of the wheel is approximately 3 feet.
