Question

A motorized scooter has a chain drive. The chain goes around the front and rear sprockets. About how long is the chain?

  1. 37 in.    
  2. 45 in.    
  3. 25 in.    
  4. 48 in.    

hintHint:

Arc length = equals fraction numerator theta over denominator 360 end fraction cross times 2 cross times pi cross times r

The correct answer is: 25 in.


    Big arc length = (fraction numerator 180 over denominator 360 end fraction) cross times pi cross times fraction numerator 49 over denominator 8 end fraction = 9.62
    Small arc length = (fraction numerator 180 over denominator 360 end fraction) cross times pi cross times fraction numerator 23 over denominator 32 end fraction =2.25
    Length of the chain = Big arc length + small arc length + (6 + (fraction numerator 9 over denominator 16 end fraction) cross times 2
    = 9.62+ 2.25 + (2cross times 6.56) = 24.99 = 25
