Answer:

The diameter of the ride is 44 feets.

Explanation:

We have,

The circumference of the frame is about 138 ft.

It is required to find the diameter of the ride.

The circumference of means that the outer covering of the circle. It is given by the formula as follows:


C=2\pi r

r is radius

Since, 2r = d, diameter of circle


C=d\pi \\\\d=(C)/(\pi)\\\\d=(138)/(3.14)\\\\d=43.94\ ft

or

d = 44 feets

So, the diameter of the ride is 44 feets.
