The distance around the wheel is 628 feet and distance traveled in one rotation is equal to 628 feet
Solution:
Julie and her brother go to Atlanta to ride the SkyView Ferris wheel.
It measures 200 feet in diameter
Diameter = 200 feet
We know that diameter is twice of radius

Thus radius of wheel is 100 feet
The distance around the ferris wheel is the circumference of wheel
Since, wheel is of circular shape, we can use circumference of circle formula
The circumference of circle is given as:

Where "r" is the radius and
is a constant equal to 3.14
Substitute r = 100 we get,

Thus distance around the wheel is 628 feet
Distance traveled in one rotation = circumference of wheel
The distance traveled in one rotation is equal to 628 feet
