Question

London Eye, which sits on the River Thames has a circumference of 376.8 meteres. What is the diameter of the ferris wheel?

Answer 1

Diameter of ferris wheel = 120 meters

Explanation:

Given that:

Circumference of London Eye = 376.8 meter

We have to find the diameter of the wheel.

We know that;

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

376.8 = 2*3.14*r

376.8 = 6.28r

6.28r = 376.8

Dividing both sides by 6.28

`(6.28r)/(6.28)=(376.8)/(6.28)\\\\r=60`

Diameter of circle = Radius * 2

Diameter = 60*2 = 120 meters

Hence,

Diameter of ferris wheel = 120 meters
