Question

A ferris wheel has a circumference of 119.32 yds. a) What is the diameter of this ferris wheel? and b) What is the radius of this ferris wheel? (use 3.14 for pi)

Answer 1

a) 38

b) 19

Explanation:

2πr = 119.32

2(3.14)r = 119.32

6.28r = 119.32

r = 119.32 / 6.28

r = 19

diameter = 2r = 2(19) = 38
