Question 1081943: A pipe and sprinkler system is attached to a motor-driven wheel
that moves the irrigation system in a circle over a
field. The first wheel is attached 50 m from
the pivot point, and all the other wheels
are attached at 20-m intervals further along
the pipe. Determine the circumference of
the circle traversed by wheel 12. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pipe and sprinkler system is attached to a motor-driven wheel
that moves the irrigation system in a circle over a
field. The first wheel is attached 50 m from
the pivot point, and all the other wheels
are attached at 20-m intervals further along
the pipe. Determine the circumference of
the circle traversed by wheel 12.
----------
Step 1, find the radius.
r = 50 + 11*20 meters.
----
Step 2, C = 2pi*r
