Question

A bicycle wheel has radius R. Let P be a point on the spoke of a wheel at a distance d from the center of the wheel. The wheel begins to roll to the right along the the x-axis. The curve traced out by P is given by the following parametric equations:
(x(θ) = 11θ - 5 sin (θ)
y(θ) = 11 - 5 cos (θ)
What must we have for R and d?
R=
d =
