Question

The wheels of a monster truck are $66$ inches tall. Find the distance the monster truck travels when the tires make one $360°$ rotation.

Answer 1

Given: Diameter of the tire (d) = $66$ inches

When the tire makes one $360°$ rotation = circumference

We know that,

Circumference of the circle = $\mathrm{\pi d}$

Circumference of the circle = $3.14\times 66$ (Since $\pi =3.14$)

Circumference of the circle = $207.24$ inches

Hence, the distance that the monster truck travels when the tires make one $360°$ rotation is $207.24$ inches
