Question

5. Patty starts at the bottom of a Ferris wheel with a radius of 8 m. The Ferris wheel rotates so Patty is now at the top. Arlene is on a merry-go-round with a radius of 6 m. The merry-go-round moves two- thirds of the way around its axle. Who travels farther? How much farther to the nearest tenth of a metre ?​

Answer 1

Answer is down below!

Explanation:

This is of the form h = a + b cos ct, where: a = 40 m. This is the height of the axle of the Ferris wheel. b = -30 m. The magnitude of this number is the radius of the wheel.
