First you need to find the circumference of the circle because 1 revolution is 1 length of the circumference. The formula for the circumference is C=2πr or C=πd, if the diameter is 1 meter then the circumference is π1 which is just π, and if it travelled 8000 rotations then that would mean it travelled 8000π, so it travelled 8000π in meters
