Question 2 (1 point)Here is a picture of a Ferris wheel. It has a diameter of 80 meters.How far does a rider travel in one complete rotation around the Ferris wheel?Use 3.14 as an approximation for TI and round to the nearest whole number.Type the answers in the blank below.meters in one complete rotation.The ferris wheel rider travels

Answer 1

We have the following:

to calculate this distance we must calculate the perimeter of the circumference as follows

$c=2\cdot\pi\cdot r$

where r is the radius,and the radius is half the diameter, therefore

$r=\frac{80}{2}=40$

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} c=2\cdot3.11\cdot40 \\ c=248.8\cong249 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is 249 meters
