To determine the number of full rotations for your tires, will you be working with area or circumference? I think its circumference.

OpenStudy (photon336):

I'm pretty sure that's circumference rotation would be more suitable for that,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks. (:

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Either one would do ... A = pi r r A = 2pi r r/2 A = C r/2 C= 2A/r

OpenStudy (photon336):

why would area also work for this?

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

I think circumference should be right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

because Area and Circumference are related but you conventionally use Circumference.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

If you explicitly know the Area of the tire, you implicitly know its Circumference

OpenStudy (photon336):

from that point it's much clearer now

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

The circumference of a tire is easily measured.
