Honey, if a wagon wheel has 20 spaces between the spokes, it means there are 21 spokes in total. Why? Because each space is sandwiched between two spokes, so you gotta count those bad boys too. So, 20 spaces + 1 in the middle = 21 spokes. Math can be a wild ride, just like a wagon wheel!
Oh honey, it's simple math. To find the angle between each spoke, you divide 360 degrees (a full circle) by the number of spokes. So, for a wheel with 15 spokes, each angle between two spokes would be 24 degrees. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
360 / 30 = 12 , so 12 spokes in that wheel.
The angle is pi/4 radian. If you are at an early stage in studying mathematics, that is 45 degrees.
18. Picture it this way. If a wagon wheel had 2 spaces, it is easy to see that it would have two spokes, say, top and bottom. Adding another spoke would block off another space. From this idea, you can see that the number of spaces must equal the number of spokes.
"Spokes" are the things that branch out from the centre of wheels to the outside edge of the wheel, to stabilise them. So wagon spokes are the things that branch out of wagon wheel centres (usually wooden, in this case). Bicycle wheels also have spokes.
