Answer:

5.39 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Let point (-2,1) be C

Line segment AC would be 2 units long.

Line segment BC would be 5 units long.

Insert the length of the line segments in to the Pythagorean theorem

$2^{2} + 5^{2}$

4 + 25 = 29

$\sqrt{29}$ ≅ 5.385

A person gets on a Ferris wheel at the starting point. The starting point is 15 feet off the ground. The Ferris wheel has a radi

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel</em> equals <em>the starting point is 15 feet off the ground </em><em>plus </em><em>the radius of the Ferris wheel </em><em>plus </em><em>the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC </em>(See figure below).<em> </em>Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle $11\pi /2=165^{\circ}$ , therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:
