Question 13 Marks
If a wheel has six spokes equally spaced, then find the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes.
Answer
View full question & answer→It is given that the six spokes are equally spaced, thus, two adjacent spokes subtend equal angle at the centre of the wheel.
Let that angle measures $x^\circ$ .
Also, The six spokes form a complete angle, that is $360^\circ$ .
Therefore, $x + x + x + x + x + x = 360^\circ$ $6x = 360^\circ$ $\text{x}=\frac{360^\circ}{6}$ $x = 60^\circ$
Hence, the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes measures $60^\circ$ .
