Answer: 11 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of the Ferris wheel= 140 ft.

We know that the circumference of the circle is given by :-

\text{Circumference}=\pi d, where d is the diameter.

Therefore, the circumference of the Ferris wheel=\pi(140)=3.14\times140=439.6\ feet

If there are 40 cars for riders, and they are placed at even intervals around the Ferris wheel.

Then, the distance between the cars=439.6\div 40=10.99\approx11\ feet

The circumference of a Ferris wheel:
C = 2 r π
C = 2 · 70 · 3.14
C = 439.6 ft
439.6 : 40 = 10.99 ≈ 11 ft
Answer:
The cars are placed approximately 11 ft apart.
