Respuesta :

Answer:

1978 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the total distance covered The distance passenger travel during a 5-minute ride is 1978feet

How to calculate the circumference of a circle?

The circumference is also known as the perimeter of the circle. It is expressed as:

C = πd

d is the diameter

C = 3.14(42)

C = 132 feet

If the Ferris wheel rotates 3 times per minute, the total times of roatation is 132 * 3 = 396feet/min

Distance traveled during a 5-minute ride = 5 * 396  = 1,978feet

Hence the distance a passenger travel during a 5-minute ride is 1978feet
