The area of the wheel is 31415.9 ft².
The Central angle in degrees is 34.29°
Measure of a central angle in radians is 0.5984 radians
<h3>How to calculate the area and central angle of a circle?</h3>
A) The image shows an example of this Ferris wheel.
We are given;
Diameter; d = 200 ft
Radius; r = 100 ft
Number of gondolas = 42
Area of the circle wheel = πr²
Area = π * 100²
Area = 31415.9 ft²
B) Now, the sum of angles in a circle is 360°.
Since there are 42 gondola's, then;
Each angle = 360/42 = 60/7°
The central angle will be an angle with its vertex at the center of a circle and with sides that are radii of the circle. From the image, we see that it covers approximately 4 gondola's. Thus;
Central angle = 4 * 60/7° = 34.29°
C) Central Angle in radians will be converted as 0.5984 rad.
D) Arc length between two gondolas is;
S = rθ
S = 100 * 0.5984
S = 59.84 radians
