Question 731196: if a bike tire is 26in how far would it travel in one revolution?

Is the diameter 26 inches or the radius 26 inches?


In one revolution the bike tire travels a distance equal to its circumference.


C=pi*d = 2*pi*r


Assuming 26 is the diameter, the circumference is pi*26 = approximately 81.68 inches.
