Consider the image attached of all the parts of a bicycle. You are riding a bicycle along a level road. Assume each wheel is 27 inches in diameter, the rear sprocket has a radius of 3 inches, and the front sprocket has a radius of 7 inches. How fast do you need to pedal (in revolutions per minute) to achieve a speed of 25 mph? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) The answer to this question has to be the pedaling speed in revolutions per minute rounded to the nearest whole number.
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
