If the spoke of a wheel reaches from the center to the wheel to its rim if the circumference of the rim of the wheel is forty two inches how long is each spoke?

Answer 1

If this is a real-life question it can't be answered, as real rims and hubs have all kinds of shapes to them that mess up the measurements. IRL a spoke wouldn't reach all the way to the center for instance, it'd be attached some way off, at the hub flange. You'd also need to know what lace pattern is being used, as that affects spoke length. But if this was a maths question that isn't required to make sense then spoke length would be (42/pi)/2.
