The circumference of a steering wheel of a car is 20 inches. What is the radius of the steering wheel?
40 in.
20 in
100 in.
10 in.

10π or 3.18

Step 1: Write equation

To solve for the radius, we must first find the equation. We will use the formula for a circumference. The circumference is equal to 2 times pi (π) times the radius. Let’s write the equation now.

C=2πr

Step 2: Substitute information

Before we find the radius, we must first substitute the information provided to us. In this case, we can substitute c for 20, as that is the circumference.

C=2πr
20= 2πr

Step 3: Solve for the radius

Now that we have steps one and two done, we can solve for the radius. Let’s start by rewriting the equation.

20= 2πr

Great! Now let’s get rid of the constant on the right side. Let’s divide each term by 2.

20= 2πr
10= πr

Now let’s move the pi side to the left. Divide each term by pi to do so.

10= πr
10π= r

This is your answer! If desired, you could divide the term by pi to get the proper answer of 3.18. Since this is not an option provided, I will leave the answer as 10π, assuming that the teacher would like you to leave the pi symbol.

You need to divide 210 square inches by 35 inches and that’s going to give you 6 inches and that’s the length of the hypothenuse of the right triangle i hope that this you : )
