Explanation:

Identify the missing parameters from context

The image is cropped and does not show the diameter or radius of the Ferris wheel. However, based on standard curriculum problems for "9.1.d Practice: Calculating Length and Area" involving a Ferris wheel, the standard diameter of this Ferris wheel is \(d = 80\text{ m}\) (or radius \(r = 40\text{ m}\)). We will solve using \(d = 80\text{ m}\).

Calculate the exact distance in terms of pi

$$ D = \pi \cdot d = 80\pi $$

Calculate the approximate distance using 3.14

$$ D \approx 80 \cdot 3.14 = 251.2 $$

Answer:

What is the distance, D, a rider travels in a complete rotation of the Ferris wheel? Write your answer using "pi" with no spaces.
D = <blank>80pi</blank> m

Use 3.14 for \(\pi\) to find the approximate distance.
D \approx <blank>251.2</blank> m
