Question 5

If a bicycle wheel has 48 spokes, then the angle between a pair of two consecutive spokes is

a) ${\left(5\frac{1}{2}\right)}^o$
b) ${\left(7\frac{1}{2}\right)}^o$
c)${\left(\frac{2}{11}\right)}^o$
d) ${\left(\frac{2}{15}\right)}^o$

Answer 1

Given, number of spokes in a bicycle wheel = 48 An angle whose measure is equal to ${360}^{\circ }$ is a complete angle. $\therefore$ Angle between a pair of two consecutive spokes

= $\frac{\text{Complete angle}}{\text{Number of spokes}}$

=$\frac{{360}^{\circ }}{48}$

=$7\frac{1^o}{2}$
