Question

A Ferris Wheel has a radius of 16 feet. How far will you travel if you take a ride that goes around 5 times? Round answer to the nearest hundredth and for pi use π = 22 7 .

Answer 1

502.85 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a Ferris wheel, r = 16 feet

We need to find how far will you travel if you take a ride that goes around 5 times.

Distance = 5×2πr

So,

= 10πr

`=10* (22)/(7)* 16\\\\=502.85\ \text{feet}`

So, the required distance is 502.85 feet.
