Question

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 80 feet. Two particular cars are located such that the central angle between them is 165º. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the intercepted arc between those two cars on the Ferris wheel?

Answer 1

Answer: 230.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

arc length = circumfrance x fraction of a circle

                 = $2\pi r$ x $\frac{165}{360}$

                 = $\frac{2*\pi *80*165 }{360}$

                 = 230.4 feet to nearest tenth
