The London Eye, the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, has a radius of 60 meters. If one ride on the London Eye is 5 revolutions, what is the total distance traveled? Use 3.14 forπ . Create a model and justify your answer using the formula for circumference of a circle.

Answer:

1,884 meters

Explanation:

This question asks for its circumference I believe. The formula is 2 x 3.14 x the radius, which is 60 in this case.

So, 2 x 3.14 x 60 = 376.8 meters.

However, it asks for 5 revolutions. Since we know that one revolution is 376.8 meters, we can multiply it by 5 to get 1,884 meters.

Not sure if it's entirely correct, so you might want to double-check. Hope I helped!
