Question

A ferris wheel is 42 ft in diameter, how many feet is traveled in one full turn

Answer 1

In order to find the distance traveled in one turn of the wheel, we just need to calculate the circumference of the wheel.

We can calculate it using the following formula:

`C=\pi d`

Where d is the diameter of the circle.

So, using d = 42, we have:

`\begin{gathered} C=3.14\cdot42 \\ C=131.88 \end{gathered}`

So the distance traveled in one turn is 131.88 feet.
