A wet bicycle tire leaves a trace of water on the floor. The tire has a radius of 14 inches,and the bicycle wheel mkes 3 full rotations before stopping. How long is the trace of water on the floor?
radius = 14 inches one round of the tire = [tex]2 \pi r[/tex] one round of the tire = [tex]2 \pi (14)[/tex] one round of the tire = 87.96 inches three rounds of the tire = 87.96 x 3 = 263.89 inches
