Question

Please help!! A Ferris Wheel at a local carnival has a diameter of 150 ft. and contains 25 cars.

Answer 1

The arc length between each car is 18.84 ft

How to get the length of an arc?

For a section defined by an angle θ in a circle of radius R, the length of the arc is given by:

A = θ*R

A complete circle has an angle of 2π. Now, if the circle has 25 cars, then it has 25 sections, so the angle that defines each one of these sections is:

θ = (2π/25)

And the diameter of the circle is 150ft, so the radius (half of that) is:

R = (150ft)/2 = 75 ft

Then the length of the arc:

L = (2π/25)*75 ft = 18.84 ft
