Question

Caroline has a rock stuck in her jeep's tire. if the tire has a 48-inch diameter, how far does the rock travel in 94° of rotation?

Answer 1

The rock is stuck in the jeep's tire, so it rotates with the tire

Full rotation = 360 degrees, and this covers the whole circumference of the tire

But the tire only rotates for 94 degrees

∴ The distance the rock travels = 94/360 x 3.14 x 48

                                                  = 39.35 inches
