a ferris wheel has a radius of 80 feet. two particular cars are located such
that the central angle between them is 165 degrees.
to the nearest tenth, what is the measure of the intercepted arc between those
two cars on the Ferris wheel?
:
Find the circumference, then find what fraction of that value, is the arc.
a = 2%2Api%2A80%2A%28165%2F360%29
a = 230.4 ft
