The Ferris wheel shown makes 16 revolutions per ride.
How far would someone travel during on revolution? Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Use 3.14 for π.
How far would someone travel during one ride? Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Use 3.14 for π.
To find how far someone would travel during one revolution of the Ferris wheel, we need to know the circumference of the Ferris wheel.
The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Since we don't have the radius of the Ferris wheel, we will use the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter. The diameter of the Ferris wheel is not given, so let's assume it is 100 feet for the purpose of this explanation.
Using the formula C = πd, we can calculate the circumference:
C = 3.14 * 100 = 314 feet
So, during one revolution of the Ferris wheel, someone would travel approximately 314 feet.
To calculate how far someone would travel during one ride, we need to multiply the distance traveled during one revolution by the number of revolutions per ride, which is given as 16.
So, during one ride of the Ferris wheel, someone would travel approximately 314 feet * 16 = 5,024 feet.
Rounding the final answer to the nearest whole number, someone would travel 5,024 feet during one ride of this Ferris wheel.
C = 3.14 d
What is the value for d?
16C = one ride
