Formula to use: \n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a circle with diameter D is pi*D \n" ); document.write( "When the wheel turns one time, the vehicle will move a distance of pi*D, If it turns 10 times, the vehicle will cover a distance of 10*pi*D. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, The distance the vehicle traveled is: \n" ); document.write( "10*pi*D \n" ); document.write( "=10*3.14*28 \n" ); document.write( "= 879.2 inches \n" ); document.write( "Converting it to foot,we have(Note that 1 feet = 12 inches, so 1 inch = 1/12 feet) \n" ); document.write( "879.2 inches = 879.2*1 inches = 879.2*(1/12)foot=879.2/12 foot = 73.3 foot\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
