The outer diameter of a bicycle wheel measures 26 inches long. the inner diameter measures 23 inches long. what is the area of the tire around the wheel? use 3.14 for pie.

115 .40 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the outer diameter of the bicycle wheel =D₀

Let the inner diameter of the bicycle wheel = D₁

D₀ = 26 inches, while  D₁ = 23 inches

Area of tire around the wheel is equivalent to the difference between the area of the outer and inner diameters:

Area of tire =  π x (D₀² - D₁²)/4(1)

                   = 3.14 x (26²-23²)/4

                   = 3.14 x 147/4

                   =  115.395‬

                   ≈  115 .40 in²
