As shown in the figure above, a thin conveyor belt 15 feet long is drawn tightly around two circular wheels each 1 foot in diameter. What is the distance, in feet, between the centers of the two wheels?

A. (15−π)/2

B. (5π)/4

C. 15−2π

D. 15−π

E. 2π

OA A
From the given information, we know that length of the belt
= 2*(1/2 of the circumference of each wheel) + 2*(Distance between the centers of the two wheels)
=> 15 = Circumference of the wheel + 2D
15 = 2πr + 2D
15 = π*1 + 2D

D = (15 – π)/2

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!

We should first note that the conveyor belt can be decomposed into two semicircular pieces, each of which has radius 0.5 meters, and two straight pieces, each of which has a length equal to the length between the centers of the two wheels.

Since each wheel has a radius of 0.5 meters, we know that the circumference of each wheel is 2 x π x 0.5 = π meters. Since the belt goes around half of each circle, a length of π/2 meters of the belt goes around each circle. However, since there are two circles, a length of 2 x π/2 = π meters of the belt goes around the two semicircles.

The entire belt is 15 meters long, so the two straight pieces of the belt have a combined measure of (15 - π), which means the distance between the centers of the circles is (15 - π)/2.

Answer: A
