A carnival ride is in the shape of a wheel with a radius of 15 feet. The wheel has 24 cars attached to the center of the wheel.
What is the central angle, arc length, and area of a sector between any two cars? Round answers to the nearest hundredth if applicable. You must show all work and calculations to receive credit.
The radius the wheel (circle) is 15 ft a circle is equal to 360° so 1the central angle is: 5/360=24° the circumference is: 2 π 24= 150.7ft The arc is: 150.7/24= 6.28ft The area of sector is: = 1/20 * Area of circle <span>= 1/20 * pi * (25)^2 </span> <span>= 98.17 feet^2 </span>I hope that this is helpful :)
