@johnweldon1993 i think 80 what im doing : 16 x 5
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
When you travel 1 rotation...how far do you go? *hint...you travel in 1 full circle...so you cover how much distance?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
360
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
Okay right...360 degrees...which is also equal to \(\large 2\pi\) right?

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):
c/d = pi.
c = pi * d = 16 * pi.
Times 5 rotations = 16 * pi * 5 = 251.2
