    If each spoke reaches from the center of the wheel to its rim, then that means that each spoke is as long as the radius.

    To calculate radius:

    C=2πr

    π=3.14

    C=42 inches

    42=2 (3.14) r

    2*3.14=6.28

    42=6.28r

    Divide 42 by 6.28

    42/6.28=6.68

    length of each spoke is 6.68 inches.
