A wheel with radius 1 m rolled in a straight line through one complete revolution on a flat horizontal surface. How many metres did the centre of the wheel travel horizontally from its starting location?
.
That would be equivalent to the circumference of the wheel:
(pi)(2r)
(3.14)(2*1)
(3.14)(2)
6.28 m
