The first ferris wheel was built in1893 in Chicago. It's diameter was 250 feet.how many feet did the ferris wheel rotate with each complete turn?
perimeter = πd
= π(250)
= 250π ft
To determine how many feet the Ferris wheel rotated with each complete turn, we need to calculate the circumference of the wheel.
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:
C = π * d
Where C represents the circumference, π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and d represents the diameter of the circle.
In this case, the diameter of the Ferris wheel is given as 250 feet. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:
C = π * 250
Calculating further:
C ≈ 3.14159 * 250 ≈ 785.398 feet
Therefore, the Ferris wheel rotated approximately 785.398 feet with each complete turn.
