We want to know the fraction of the wheel's edge that is more than 9 meters above the ground.
\n" ); document.write( " The small arc between points P and Q represents the part of the ride when Jamie sees the ocean.
\n" ); document.write( "\"AB=9m-6m=3m\" , and \"AP=10m%2F2=5m\" is the radius of the wheel.
\n" ); document.write( "So, in right triangle BAP,
\n" ); document.write( "\"cos%28BAP%29=AB%2FAP=3%2F5=0.6\" ---> \"BAP=about53.13%5Eo\" (approximately
\n" ); document.write( "\"PAQ=about\"\"2%2A53.13%5Eo=106.26%5Eo\"
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction of each revolution that Jamie is between P and Q is
\n" ); document.write( "\"106.26%5Eo%2F360%5Eo=106.26%2F360\" .
\n" ); document.write( "\"5+minutes=5%2A60seconds\", so the time that Jamie sees the ocean is
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2A60seconds%28106.26%5Eo%2F360%5Eo%29=88.55seconds\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
