Two wheels are rolled simultaneously. the radius of the smaller wheel is r feet and the radius of the larger wheel 2r feet. if both wheels did a total of 4 rotations, how much further did the large wheel travel? show steps tysm

The circumference of a circle is C=2πR, where R is the radius of the circle and π≈3.14.

So if we open the circumference of the circle into a straight line segment, the length of this segment is C=2πR≈2*3.14*R=6.28R

4 rotations mean 4 circumferences that is 4 segments of length 6.28R, 
which makes a linear distance of 4*6.28R=25.12R

i: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=r, thus it covers a distance of 25.12r feet

ii: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=2r, thus it covers a distance of  25.12*2r=50.24r (feet)

50.24r is twice 25.12r, thus the larger wheel traveled Twice the distance of the smaller one.

the larger covered twice the distance of the smaller.

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.
