Question 1005165: Josie is sitting on a Ferris wheel. She is exactly 35 feet from the center and is at the 3 o'clock position when the Ferris wheel begins moving.
Suppose Josie has rotated 3.1 radians around the Ferris wheel (starting at the 3 o'clock position). How high is Josie above the horizontal diameter (in feet)/?

pi radians takes her back to the horizontal position.
She has moved 3.1 radians, or 0.9868 of the way. She will be close to the horizontal position.
The sine of the horizontal position= (pi-3.1)/35
The horizontal position is 35* the sine=1.455 feet.
