Question

Can someone please help and explain to me how to do this? i will medal AND fan!!:)

A ferris wheel has a radius of 80ft. Two particular cars are located such that the central angle between them is 165°. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the intercepted arc between those two cars on the Ferris wheel?

Answer 1

For a circle:

Arc Length = θ × r
(when θ is in radians)

Arc Length = (θ × π/180) × r
(when θ is in degrees)

Answer 2

omg, what?

Answer 3

or
circumference = 360 degree arc
arc = 165 = what percentage of a full circle?

Answer 4

i really dont know..:/
