Estrella is riding on a Ferris wheel that has a radius of 30 feet. She boarded the Ferris wheel at the 3:00 position; and, after she travelled approximately 4.2 radians around the wheel in the counterclockwise direction, the wheel stopped to allow another passenger to get on. If we draw a straight line between Estrella and the center of the Ferris wheel, the slope of this line would be 42 radians Estrella approximately –0.73 approximately –2.22 approximately 1.78 approximately 0.73 approximately 21.90

In one of the rides at an amusement park, you sit in a circular "car" and cause it to rotate by turning a wheel in the center. The faster you turn the wheel, the faster the car rotates. How far from the center of the car are you sitting if your car makes one revolution every 5 seconds and your linear speed is 4 feet per second? Express your answer in feet. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. feet TIP Enter your answer as an integer or decimal number. Examples: 3, -4, 5.5172 Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity
