How long is each spoke if the circumference of the rim of the wheel is 42 inches?
We've already had this question.
If this is about a real bike it can't be answered, as the spokes never go to the precise center of the wheel.
If this is about maths, then basic geometry states that circumference = diameter times pi.
A spoke would be the radius, which is half of the diameter. Pi is usually held at 3.14, but the numbers just keeps coming.
Circumference / Pi = diameter
Diameter / 2 = radius

What is the spoke of a wheel reaches from the center of the wheel to its rim if the circumference of the rim wheel is 42 inches how long is each spoke?
The formula for the circumference of a circle = 2πr. Where r is the radius and thus the length of a spoke. When 42 = 2πr then r = 42 ÷ 2π = 6.6845 inches. The length of each spoke is 6.6845 inches (4dp).
If the circumference of the rim of the wheel is 27 inches how long is each spoke?
Assuming a spoke represents the radius of the circle, each one would be 4.29 inches long. When given the circumference (27 inches), the radius (spokes) is calculated using the formula r = C / 2(pi); or Radius = 27 inches / [2(3.14)].

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?
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.
