Suppose a Ferris Wheel is 50 feet wide. Approximately how far does a rider travel in one rotation of the wheel?

Just calculate the circumference of the wheel.
c = pi x D = 3.1416 x 50 = 157.08 ft
Think you’ve got to use the equation for circumference of a circle, so (2 x Pi x radius) or (Pi x diameter). Here the diameter would be 50feet so times that by pi and you’ve got the distance traveled.
Hope that helps
3.14159 times the diameter of the wheel, or in this case 157.0795 feet !
