Leroy's bicycle tires are 34 inches in diameter. Approximately how far will the bike travel in exactly one full turn of the tires.

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

Find the circumference of the circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 106.76

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So whats next?

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

It's actually 106.81

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

Please, don't use 3.14 for pi, use the pi button...

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

Anyway, 106.81in^2 is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use a calculator 34times 3.14=106.76in 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whats the next step?

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

yeah, I know... but 3.14 is an approximation of pi, it's incorrect. If your calculator has a pi button you should use it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH your right its 106.81 I didnt use the pi button

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

\[106.81 inches^2\]

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

that's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is ?

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

Yes. The distance around the circle is the circumference.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how far would the bike travel 9ft, 7ft 10in, 7ft, or 4ft 11in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

9 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just wondering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

since there is 12 inches in a foot, you divide 106.81 by 12

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

im sorry, i have to go now..

OpenStudy (lstrasmann):

good luck..
