Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2006 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

The wheel of a tractor has a diameter 1.4m. What distance does it cover in 100 complete revolutions? [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]
Answer Details
The circumference of the wheel is the distance it covers in one revolution. Circumference of the wheel = π × diameter Substituting the given values, Circumference of the wheel = π × 1.4m = 4.4m (rounded to one decimal place) Therefore, the distance covered in 100 revolutions is: Distance covered = Circumference of the wheel × Number of revolutions Substituting the given values, Distance covered = 4.4m × 100 = 440m Therefore, the wheel covers a distance of 440m in 100 complete revolutions. Hence, the correct option is (D) 440m.
