Trigonometry-basics/301685: A radius with a gear of 4 inches turns though an angle of 7(pi)/8 radians. WHat distance does a point on the edge of the gear travel as the gear turns through this angle? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. PLEASE HELP! Show steps so I understand. :(( 1 solutions Answer 216303 by Fombitz(13828)   on 2010-05-07 10:40:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a circle. Mark a point on the circumference. Rotate that circle about its center 360 degrees or 2pi radians. That point just traveled the full length of the circumference. Similarly if you rotated any part of a full revolution you could calculate that distance as a portion of the circumference. Set up a ratio. Distance traveled is to the circumference as angle is to (2pi). The circumference based on the radius is, The angle traveled is, Therefore the distance traveled is, or approximately 11.0(10.995) inches.
