Question

Scene #1 The London Eye

Answer 1

We have been given that London Eye's radius is 60 meters. We are asked to find the distance traveled by two full trips around the London Eye.

To find the distance traveled by two full trips around the London Eye, we will use circumference of circle formula.

$\text{Circumference of circle}=2\pi r$, where r represents radius of circle.

Let us find distance covered by one full trip of London Eye.

$\text{Distance covered by one full trip of London Eye}=2\pi\cdot\text{ 60 m}$

$\text{Distance covered by one full trip of London Eye}=120\pi\text{ m}$

$\text{Distance covered by one full trip of London Eye}=120\pi\text{ m}$

$\text{Distance covered by 2 full trips of London Eye}=2\cdot 120\pi\text{ m}$

$\text{Distance covered by 2 full trips of London Eye}=240\pi\text{ m}$

$\text{Distance covered by 2 full trips of London Eye}=753.98223686\text{ m}$

Upon rounding to nearest tenth, we will get:

$\text{Distance covered by 2 full trips of London Eye}\approx 754.0\text{ m}$

Therefore, you will travel approximately 754.0 meters.
