Question

a truck tire has a diameter of 1.5 feet. if this tire rotated fully, once around, how far would that distance be?
select one of four
1.5π ft.
2.25π ft.
0.75π ft.
3π ft.
remaining attempts: 1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for circumference

The distance a tire travels in one full rotation is its circumference. The formula for the circumference of a circle is \(C = \pi d\), where \(d\) is the diameter.

Step2: Substitute the given diameter

Given \(d = 1.5\) feet. Substituting into the formula \(C=\pi\times1.5 = 1.5\pi\) feet.

Answer:

\(1.5\pi\) ft.
