the navy pier ferris wheel is 150 ft tall and has 40 spokes.
a.) find the measure of the angle between any two spokes
360/40 = 9 degrees
.
b.) two spokes form a central angle of 72 degrees. how many spokes are between the two spokes?
72/9 = 8 spokes
.
c.) the bottom of the wheel is 10 ft from the ground. find the diameter and radius of the wheel. explain your reasoning.
diameter must be 150-10 = 140 feet
radius is 1/2(diameter) = 70 feet
