Answer:

[tex]86\pi\ feet[/tex] each car travel in one revolution in terms of π .

270.04 feet each car travel in one revolution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]Circumference\ of\ a\ circle = 2\pi r[/tex]

Where r is the radius of the circle .

As given

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 86 ft.

[tex]Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Radius = \frac{86}{2}[/tex]

                   = 43 feet

Thus

[tex]Circumference\ of\ a\ circle = 2\times 43 \pi[/tex]

[tex]Circumference\ of\ a\ circle = 86\pi\ feet[/tex]        

Therefore [tex]86\pi\ feet[/tex] each car travel in one revolution in terms of π .

Now

π = 3.14

[tex]Circumference\ of\ a\ circle = 2\times 43\times 3.14[/tex]    

                                                     = 270.04 feet

Therefore 270.04 feet each car travel in one revolution .
