A carousel is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating...

Answer 1

To answer this question you will use the formula for circumference of a circle to find how far around one revolution is.

C = pi x d
     3.14 x 32
C = 100.48 feet

Multiply the distance around one time by 4.3 to get the distance traveled in one revolution and then multiply it by 3 for the 3 minutes.

100.48 x 4.3 x 3 = 1296.19 feet
This is approximate and is closest to answer choice D.
