A carnival ride is in the shape of a wheel with a radius of 25 feet. The wheel has 20 cars attached to the center of the wheel. What is the central angle, arc length, and area of a sector between any two cars? Round answers to the nearest hundredth if applicable. You must show all work and calculations to receive credit.

Centre angle will be 360° as its totally a circle.

  • radius=r=25ft

Angle between two cars=360/20=18°

  • Arc length=L


\\ \sf\longmapsto L=(\theta)/(360)(2\pi r)


\\ \sf\longmapsto L=(18)/(360)(2\pi(25))


\\ \sf\longmapsto L=(1)/(20)(50\pi)


\\ \sf\longmapsto L=2.5\pi ft

Now

Area be A


\\ \sf\longmapsto A=(1)/(2)Lr^2


\\ \sf\longmapsto A=(1)/(2)(2.5\pi)(25)^2


\\ \sf\longmapsto A=625(2.5)\pi(1)/(2)


\\ \sf\longmapsto A=1562.5\pi/2


\\ \sf\longmapsto A=781\pi ft^2=
