Question

Levi boards a Ferris wheel with a diameter of 100 feet. What is the approximate distance, to the nearest foot, that Levi travels in six revolutions of the wheel?

Answer 1

To find of the distance Levi traveled and six revolutions, you need to find the distance of one revolution. To find this, you would use the circumference of a circle formula.

C = pi x d
C = 3.14 x 100
C = 314 feet

The distance around one time is approximately 314 feet.

314 feet x 6 = 1884

The distance Levi travels revolutions is about 1884 feet.
