A bicycle wheel has a circumference of 62 inches. Find the diameter of the wheel. If necessary, round to the tenths place. A. 39.5 inches B. 19.7 inches C. 15.5 inches D. 9.9 inches

The answer to your question is diameter = 19.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Circumference = 62 in

diameter = ?

Process

1. - Write the formula of Circumference, remember that circumference = perimeter.

Perimeter = 2πr

2. - Equal the equation to the value given

2πr = 62

-Solve it for r

r = 62/2 (3.14)

-Result

r = 62/6.28

r = 9.87 in

3. - Find the diameter

diameter = 2r

diameter = 2 (9.87)

diameter = 19.7 in
