Question

The car at each vertex of a ferris wheel can hold a maximum of 5 people the sum of the measures of the angle of the ferris wheel is 7740 degrees what is the maximum number of people the ferris wheel can hold

Answer 1

Since the sum of the interior angles of a shape is found with the formula 180(n-2) where n is the amount of sides, we divide 7740 by 180 to get 43. Then, we add 2 to get that the ferris wheel has 45 sides. This means that the wheel also has 45 vertices, so we multiply 45 times 5 to get the amount of people that the ferris wheel can hold. This means that the answer to your question is 225.
