The conclusions about the replica and the original wheel are:

Both wheels have the same central angle
The arc length of the original Ferris wheel can be dilated using a scale ratio less than 1 to get the replica

<h3>The conclusion about the central angles</h3>

From the question, we understand that the smaller replica is to be drawn from the original wheel.

To do this, the original wheel must be dilated by a scale factor k, where k < 1.

Dilation do not affect angles measures;

So, both wheels have the same central angle

<h3>The conclusion about the arc length</h3>

In (a), we have the transformation to be dilation

When the arc length of the original wheel is multiplied by the scale factor of dilation, it gives the arc length of the replica
