The height at 150°, 240°, and 315° will be 208.66 feet, 169.5 feet, and 40.34 feet, respectively.

What is a vector?

The quantity which has magnitude, direction and follows the law of vector addition is called a vector.

A Ferris wheel with a diameter of 214 feet was built in a city.

The top of the wheel stands 223 feet above the ground.

Then the radius will be

r = 214 / 2

r = 107 feet

The distance between the ground and bottom of the Ferris wheel will be

d = 223 – 214

d = 9 feet

Then the height will be given as

h = r(1 – cos θ) + h

h = 107(1 – cos θ) + 9

At θ = 150°, then the height will be

h = 107(1 – cos 150°) + 9

h = 208.66 feet

At θ = 240°, then the height will be

h = 107(1 – cos 240°) + 9

h = 169.5 feet

At θ = 315°, then the height will be

h = 107(1 – cos 315°) + 9

h = 40.34 feet
