The carnival ride is in shape of wheel with 25ft radius.
The wheel has 20 cars attached to the center of the wheel. Since the cars are evenly distributed, we can thus find the
the measure of the angle between each car by dividing 360 degrees by 20.
#A:
The measure of each central angle between any two cars is:
[tex]\frac{360}{20}=18^0[/tex]#B:
Hence, we can find the length of the arch between any two cars is given by the length of arc formula given below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r \\ \text{where,} \\ r=\text{radius} \\ \theta=\text{measure of each central angle betw}een\text{ two cars} \end{gathered}[/tex]Let us calculate this length below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta=18^0 \\ \frac{18}{360}\times2\pi\times25 \\ =2.5\pi=7.85\text{ (to the nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}[/tex]#C:
We are asked to find the area of each sector between two cars.
The area of a sector of a circle is:
[tex]\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi\times r^2[/tex]Since we have all the parameters, let us calculate this area:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{18}{360}\times\pi\times25^2 \\ \\ Area=98.13\text{ (to nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the final answers are:
#A: angle = 18 degrees
#B length = 7.85 feet
#C Area = 98.13 squared feet
