Question 7:   A bicycle wheel makes four and a half turns. Find the number of right angles through which it turns. 

Solution 7:    The wheel of a bicycle is in the shape of circle so it is covers 360o in one turn.

(360°)/(90°) = 4 Right angles

A bicycle wheel makes 4 Right angles in a turn.

In four and half turns the bicycle wheel turns 4 × 4.5 = 18 Right angles

Therefore, number of right angles through which it turns is 18.
 
 
Question 8:   Look at your watch face. Through how many right angles does the minute-hand moves between 8:00 O’ clock and 10:30 O’ clock? 
Solution  8:
The minute hand turns 360o in 1 hour
(360°)/(90°) = 4 Right angles
4 Right angles can make in an hour.
Hours between 8:00 to 10:30 = 2.5 hour.
In two and half hours the minute hand turns 2.5 × 4 = 10 right angles.
Therefore, 10 right angles can make between 8: 00 O’clock and 10:30 O’clock. 
 
Question 9:   If a bicycle wheel has 48 spokes, then find the angle between a pair of adjacent spokes. 
Solution 9:
The wheel of a bicycle is in the shape of circle so central angle in a bicycle is 360o which consists of 48 spokes. 
Angle between a pair of adjacent spokes = 360/48 = 7.5o
Thus, the angle between a pair of adjacent spokes is 7.5o.
