Answer:

The diameter of the tire is 1.274 m

Explanation:

Given;

total length of the street, L = 172 m

let the radius of the tire = r

let the diameter of the tire, d = 2r

In every single turn, a tire covers a distance, D = 2πr

for the total 43 times, the distance covered, D = L = 43 x 2πr

L = 43 x 2πr

172 = 86πr

[tex]r = \frac{172}{86 \pi} \\\\r = 0.637 \ m[/tex]

d = 2r = 2 x 0.637

d = 1.274 m

Therefore, the diameter of the tire is 1.274 m
