A Ferris wheel makes 12 revolutions per ride. How far would someone travel during one ride if the diameter is 63 feet?...thanks!
C= πd
c= 3.14×63
C= 197.82
197.82×12=
2373.84
recall that the circumference of a circle of diameter d is
C = πd
18.90
197.82 feet
To find out how far someone would travel during one ride on the Ferris wheel, we need to calculate the circumference of the wheel and then multiply it by the number of revolutions.
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where C represents the circumference and d represents the diameter of the circle.
In this case, the diameter of the Ferris wheel is 63 feet. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:
C = π * 63
Now let's calculate the circumference:
C = 3.14 * 63
C ≈ 197.82 feet
Now that we have the circumference, we need to multiply it by the number of revolutions, which in this case is 12:
Total distance traveled = Circumference * Number of revolutions
Total distance traveled = 197.82 * 12
Calculating this:
Total distance traveled ≈ 2373.84 feet
Therefore, someone would travel approximately 2373.84 feet during one ride on the Ferris wheel with a diameter of 63 feet.
