wheel diameter times pi times number of rotations
circumference of a circle = pi*diameter or 2*pi*radius
If the circumference or diameter is given then you can find the radius or simply measure the distance from the centre of the circle to the circumference.
First find the circumference of the whole circle using Pi x diameter. Halve the answer and add the diameter. Thus: 3.1416 × 10 = 31.416 ÷ 2 + 10 = 25.708cm So the perimeter of the semi-circle is 25.7cm
To find the distance around a figure, you calculate the perimeter. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape or figure. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square, you add up all the sides. For a circle, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the diameter by π (pi).
Divide the distance traveled by the product of the diameter and pi.
wheel diameter times pi times number of rotations
Well, sugar, if the radius of a baseball is 1.5 inches and home plate is 16 inches wide, we can calculate the circumference of the baseball (3.14 x diameter) and then divide the width of home plate by that distance to find out how many rotations it would take. So, it would take approximately 3 rotations for that sassy baseball to roll across home plate.
Divide the Diameter by 2 to get the Radius
Diameter = circumference/pi
To calculate the number of wheel rotations needed to travel a certain distance, we must first find the circumference of the wheel using the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter of the wheel. Given that the diameter is 0.5 meters, the circumference is C = π(0.5) = 1.57 meters. To travel 100 meters, the wheel would need to make 100 / 1.57 = approximately 63.69 rotations. Therefore, the wheel would need to make approximately 64 rotations to travel 100 meters.
To find the distance around the circle, you must find the diameter, which is two times the radius. Then you multiply the length of the diameter by Pi. (Pi is a constant roughly equal to 3.14).
Diameter = circle's circumference/pi
Pi x diameter
multiply the diameter times pi (3.14159265)
Multiply the diameter by the constant pi.
If: circumference = pi*diameter Then: pi = circumference/diameter
