Question

Let’s design a new ferris wheel!! Create a sketch of a new Ferris wheel. This new ferris wheel must have an arc length measuring 3 25π feet. What is the equation of your new ferris wheel if the center must be at least 60 feet from the ground? Be sure to show and explain all work.

Answer 1

if the wheel has circumference of 325π feet then radius= 325/2=162.5 feet,,,,correct?

That is more than 60 feet. Say the wheel edge is to be . 5 feet from ground then the center

of wheel should be 163 feet from ground. Equation for this wheel is x²+(y-163)²=162.5²
