≈ 3.7699m
Explanation:
We require to calculate the circumference (C) of the wheel.
color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(C=2pir )color(white)(a/a)|)))
where r is the radius of the wheel.We require 4 complete revolutions of the wheel.
rArr" distance travelled "=4xx2pir
=4xx2pixx15=120pi≈376.99cm=3.7699m
