Congratulations!  You have been selected to help sell bicycles to race teams who travel across the United States.  In order to purchase the right bikes for each race, the clients need to know the dimensions of different bikes including:  circumferences of the wheels, width of the handle bars, and height of the seat.  Be sure to include a drawing of your scale model, tell what type of material your bike is made out of, and a projected cost of the bike based on the material.

In your presentation keep in mind the following mathematical topics:

  Standard measurement

  Angles

  Circumference

  Scale models

Your presentation should be creative and original.  You are expected to add some of your own information.
