Question

The Ferris wheel shown makes 18 revolutions per ride. How far would someone travel during one ride? Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

Someone would travel about 2,035 feet during one ride on the Ferris wheel.

Explanation:

Find the circumference of the Ferris wheel.

C = πd Use the circumference formula.

C ≈ 3.14(36) Substitute for the diameter and π.

C ≈ 113.04 Multiply.

The circumference of the Ferris wheel is about 113.04 feet.

Find how far someone would travel during one ride on the Ferris wheel. Multiply the circumference of the Ferris wheel by the number of revolutions per ride, and round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

113.04 × 18 ≈ 2,034.72

Answer 2

Answer : The distance traveled by someone during one ride would be, 56 d

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Number of revolution per ride = 18

As we know that:

1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel

Circumference of the wheel = (π) × (Diameter)

So,

18 revolutions = 18 × Circumference of the wheel

= (18) × (π) × (Diameter)

= (18) × (3.14) × (d)

= 56.52 d ≈ 56 d

Therefore, the distance traveled by someone during one ride would be, 56 d
