- 8:39 *** TEMU 5G 60% A ferris wheel is 28 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 2 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 4 minutes. The function h = f(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. What is the amplitude? 14 meters What is the equation of the Midline? y = 16 What is the period? 4 meters minutes The equation that models the height of the ferris wheel after t minutes is: f(t): = ƒ (3) = ·−14(0) + 16 syntax error: you gave an equation, not an expression. syntax error. Check your variables - you might be using an incorrect one. How high are you off of the ground after 3 minutes?
