The person will travel about 14.04 miles when the wheel makes 59 revolutions.
What is a circle?
'A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the center. Equivalently, it is the curve traced out by a point that moves in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant.'
According to the given problem,
Diameter of the wheel = 400 feet
Radius of the wheel = ( 400/2 ) feet
= 200 feet.
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
= 2 × π × 200
= 400π
Total distance in 59 revolutions = ( 400π × 59 ) feet
= 74141.58 feet
Total distance in miles = [tex]\frac{74141.58}{5280}[/tex] miles
= 14.04196 miles
≈ 14.04 miles
Hence, we can conclude, the person will travel 14.04 miles when the wheel makes 59 revolutions.
