A) There's a problem with chair B. In order to fix it,

the mechanics need to know the angle formed at the
center of the ferris wheel between chairs B and D.
If we know that the chairs are evenly spaced around
the wheel, what is the angle measure that they are
looking for?

Answer:

60°

Explanation:

The fairy wheel is circular in nature. We need to note that sum total of angle in a circle is 360°

If we know that the chairs are evenly spaced around, then the angle between two adjacent chairs must be equal all round.

Angle between two Adjacent chair = sum total of angles in the circle/total number of chairs = 360/12

= 30°

Angle between ferris chair B and D will be angle between B and C + angle between C and D

= 30°+30°

= 60°
