A water wheel has a radius of 18 feet. the wheel is rotating at 5 revolutions per minute. find the linear speed, in feet per minute, of the water

The linear speed is

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the circle

The circumference is equal to

we have

substitute

step 2

Find the linear speed in feet per minute

we know that

The wheel is rotating at 10 revolutions per minute

Convert revolutions to feet

Remember that

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle

so

10 revolutions is equal to

therefore

The linear speed is

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
