In 1 minute, the ferris wheel will complete 3 rotations, which means a passenger will travel the circumference of the wheel 3 times.
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter.
So, the circumference of this ferris wheel is:
C = πd = π(50) = 50π feet
Therefore, in 1 minute, a passenger will travel 3 times the circumference, which is:
3(50π) = 150π feet
In 6 minutes, a passenger will travel:
6(150π) = 900π feet
Using 3.14 as an approximation for π, this is approximately:
900π ≈ 2826 feet
So the answer is 2826 feet.
