The Skyview Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia is a super-sized Ferris wheel that overlooks the city
and is 200 feet in radius length.
If a passenger rides clockwise from points M to point and stops, then determine how
many feet the passenger has traveled.
Use 3.14 for pl and round your answer off to the nearest hundredths place if necessary. Type in the
number only; do not enter units.

Answer: a. 279.11meters

b. 2513.27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle= 2πr

where r = radius of the circle.

In the picture, there are t

18 spokes, therefore the angle between any two spokes will be:

360° ÷ 18 = 20°

The arc length traversed by passenger will be= radius of the circle × the angle that is traversed by the passenger

radius = 200 feet.

He has traveled from M to J,that subtends 4 × 20 = 80°

= 80π/180 radian = 4π/9radian

The passenger has therefore traveled:

200 × 4π/9 = 800π/9

= (800×3.14)/9

= 279.11meters

Part B.

Full ride is equivalent to 2 × the circumference of the circle= 2 × 2πr

= 4πr

= 4 × 3.14 × 200

= 2512 feet

So,he would travel 4* 7 * 200 feet = 2513.27 feet
