54. 10cm How many degrees do the robot’s wheels need to turn to drive 10 cm?

55. 10cm d = 2.5cm How many degrees do the robot’s wheels need to turn to drive 10 cm?

56. 10cm c = π*d = 3.14*2.5 = 7.85 How many degrees do the robot’s wheels need to turn to drive 10 cm?

57. 10cm 360° = 7.85cm 45.8° = 1cm 458° = 10cm How many degrees do the robot’s wheels need to turn to drive 10 cm?
