If the total across-the-center diameter length of a bicycle wheel is measured to be \(24\text{ inches}\), determine the length of one of its spokes (the radius).
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 12
Explanation
The radius length is calculated by taking exactly half of the measured diameter length:
\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12\text{ inches} \]
