You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
