Given:

A Ferris wheel makes 1 revolution per minute, n = 1 rpm

so, the angular speed :

\omega=\frac{2\pi\cdot n}{60}=\frac{2\pi\cdot1}{60}=\frac{\pi}{30}

The linear speed of the seats on the rim of the wheel is 2.14 mph

so,

\begin{gathered} v=\omega\cdot r \\  \end{gathered}

convert from mph to ft/sec

hour = 3600 sec

mile = 5280 ft

so,

2.14\frac{mile}{hour}=2.14\cdot\frac{5280}{3600}\frac{ft}{\sec}=\frac{1177}{375}\frac{ft}{\sec }

so,

\begin{gathered} \frac{1177}{375}=\frac{\pi}{30}\cdot r \\  \\ r=\frac{30\cdot1177}{375\pi}=29.97 \end{gathered}

So, the answer To the nearest foot is r = 30 ft

Find the area of the following geometric figure
romanna [79]

The area of the triangle is 90 m²

Explanation:

Given that the base of the triangle is 15 m

The altitude of the triangle is 12 m

<u>Area of the triangle:</u>

The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

Area=\frac{1}{2}bh

where b is the base and h is the altitude

Thus, we have,

b=15 and h=12

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

Area=\frac{1}{2}(15)(12)

Multiplying the terms, we get,

Area=\frac{180}{2}

Dividing, we get,

Area=90 \ m^2

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 90 m²

For a parallelogram with a long side that is 4 times the length of its short side find the area if the height from the long side
Zielflug [23.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  c.  1150 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two side lengths is half the perimeter, so is 125/2 = 62.5 units. The long side is 4/5 of that, so is 50 units.

The area is the product of the long side and the height to the long side:

  A = bh

  A = (50 units)(23 units) = 1150 units²

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

This geometry is impossible, because the height from the long side cannot be more than the length of the short side. Here, the short side is 12.5 units, so it is not possible for the height to be 23 units.

If the height is measured from the short side, then the area is 287.5 square units.
