A monster truck tire will travel will travel 12.56 ft in one revolution. What is the radius of the tire?
If it travels 12.56 ft in one revolution, then the circumference of the tire is 12.56 ft.
Circumference = 2 x π x radius
12.56=2 x 3.14 x radius
radius x 6.28=12.56
Radius= 2 ft
Hope this helps :)
1 revolution
the part that touches the ground makes 1 full circle
therefor 12.56 is the cirvmerncere
circumfrence=2pir
12.56=circumfrence
12.56=2pir
divide both sides by 2
6.28=pir
aprox pi to 3.14 and divide both sides by 3.14
2=r
radius=2 feet
