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. HELP PLZ

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

think of 360/24 cars

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

what will you get

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

ok ik im just playing around

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

15

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

you know what

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

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 There's your formula

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

can you space that out, I tried reading another thread and it confused me

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

AND THE RADIUS BETWEEN EACH CAR IS 15

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

srry caps

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

space what out?

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

wait hold up lmao

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

and 15 is the center angle too

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

I need the area of sector now

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Area = 29.45 ft^2 Ugh here

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

what formula did you use?

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

thanks for help m8 Its early in the morn here in aus

And can i get a medal pls, i saving up for the titles

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

whats the form for area of sector

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Area = 29.45 ft^2

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Area of a Sector =angle/ 360 * pi * r^2 =15/360 * 3.1415 * (15^2)

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

and you get 29.45 ft ^2

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

oh ok

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

ya

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

thats all correct right?

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

im %99.9999 sure it is

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

It should be

OpenStudy (harmabe91113):

sounds good

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

kk
