Question

HELP PLEASE! WILL GIVE MEDAL!!

A carnival ride is in the shape of a wheel with a radius of 15 feet. The wheel has 24 cars attached to the center of the wheel. What is the central angle, arc length, and area of a sector between any two cars? Round answers to the nearest hundredth if applicable. You must show all work and calculations to receive credit.

Answer 1

circle is 360 :P

Answer 2

360/24 = 15

Answer 3

wait wait what do you mean? 15 is what?

Answer 4

I'm sorry i'm really bad at math?

Answer 5

hmm 15 is angle

Answer 6

because we divided the whole circle in to 24 sectors

Answer 7

arc length = center angle/ 360 * pi * diameter
= 15/360 * 3.1415 * (15 * 2) here I multiplied radius by 2 to get the diameter
arc length = 3.93 ft

Answer 8

15 angle u get by
360/24

Answer 9

really?

Answer 10

so 15 is the radius AND the center angle?

Answer 11

yup :) 15 radius is given :)

Answer 12

okay, so at the end of your equation, the arc length is 3.93 feet, right?

Answer 13

how would I find the area of the sector between two cars like it asked? o:

Answer 14

yup :)
Last part:
Area of a Sector
=theata/ 360 * pi * r^2
=15/360 * 3.1415 * (15^2)

Answer 15

Area = 29.45 ft^2

Answer 16

wait wait, what's theata mean? o:

Answer 17

thank you for being so patient and helping me by the way you're the best :)

Answer 18

haha it's ok :) theata is angle :)

Answer 19

Welcome :)

Answer 20

oh okay I got it now! thank you so much! :D

Answer 21

Theata is usually used in geometry to indicate an angle :)
Welcome :D

Answer 22
