When you ride on a ferris wheel you are sitting on the circumference of the wheel.
\n" ); document.write( "When the wheel turns one revolution, you would travel a distance exactly equal to the length of the circumference, right?
\n" ); document.write( "So you need to find the circumference (C) of a wheel whose diameter (D) is 20 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "Recall:
\n" ); document.write( "\"C+=+%28pi%29D\" Substitute \"D+=+20\" and \"pi+=+3.14\"approx.
\n" ); document.write( "\"C+=+%283.14%29%2820%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C+=+62.8\"meters.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
