Answer:
1297.37 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The carousel at a local theme park has a diameter of 32 feet.
Each ride last three minutes and the speed of the carousel is 4.3 revolutions per minute.
<u>Question asked:</u>
What is the maximum distance riders travel in one full ride? Round to the nearest hundredth.
<u>Solution:</u>
First of all we will find the radius of the carousel:-
Diameter = 32 feet
Radius, r =
Now, we will find distance covered by the carousel in one ride that means its circumference;
In 1 minute, number of revolution taken by carousel = 4.3
<u>As each ride last for 3 minutes:-</u>
In 3 minutes, number of revolution taken by carousel = 3 4.3 = 12.9
In 1 revolution, distance covered by carousel = 100.571 feet
In 12.9 revolution, distance covered by carousel = 100.571 12.9
= 1297.365 feet
Thus, the maximum distance riders travel in one full ride is 1297.37 feet.
