Help please!! :( long question! calculus Aunt Norma is riding a Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel has a radius of 50 feet, and the center of the wheel is 58 feet off the ground. The wheel is spinning counterclockwise with an angular velocity of 0.2 radians per second. Uncle Norm is standing in the plane of the Ferris wheel, 60 feet to the right of the base at a height of 0 feet.

Answer 3

somehow we have to get a relation between the distance and
\[\theta\] maybe need the law of cosines?
