Question

The Ferris wheel shown makes 16 revolutions per ride. How far would someone travel during one ride? Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

Complete question :

The diameter of the ferris Given is 63 feets

Answer:

3165 feets

Explanation:

Given that :

Diameter of ferris = 63 feets

Recall :

Circumference of a circle = 2 * pi * Radius

Or

Circumference = pi * d

Hence,

Circumference of wheel = 3.14 * 63 = 197.82 feets

Distance traveled during one ride :

Circumference of wheel * number of revolutions

197.82 * 16 = 3165.12

= 3165 feets (nearest whole number)
