A wheel 30 cm in radius rotates 4Ï radians along a road. How far did it travel
Each rotation of the wheel covers one circumference.
A circumference = 2·Π·r ---> circumference = 2·Π·30 = 60Π cm ≈ 188.49556 cm per circumference
How many circumferences are there in 41 radians?
Since there are 2Π radians in one circumference,
there will be 41 / (2Π) circumferences ≈ 6.52535 circumferences
Putting this together, 6.52535 circumferences and each circumference ≈ 188.49556 cm
6.52535 x 188.49556 ≈ 1230 cm
