The radius of a wheel rolling on the ground is 65 cm. If the wheel rotates through an angle of 900 degrees in 5 seconds, how far on the ground does it move? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

One rotation of your wheel = 2(65)π = 130π cm
900° = 2.5 rotations
so distance covered in 5 seconds = 2.5(130π) cm
= appr 1021.02 cm
