The radius of ferris wheel is 124 feet
Solution:
Given that, Sabrina rode on a ferris wheel at the state fair
In one rotation she traveled 778.72 ft
To find: Radius of ferris wheel
The distance traveled in one rotation is equal to circumference of circle
Thus circumference of circle is equal to 778.72 feet
The circumference of circle is given as:
[tex]C = 2 \pi r[/tex]
Where, "r" is the radius and [tex]\pi[/tex] is a constant equal to 3.14
Substituting, C = 778.72
[tex]778.72 = 2 \times 3.14 \times r\\\\778.72 = 6.28r\\\\r = \frac{778.72}{6.28}\\\\r = 124[/tex]
Thus radius of ferris wheel is 124 feet
