Answer:
The distance between the 6th and 10th seat is approximately 126m
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we will need to calculate the circumference of the circular fair ride.
which the formula is
[tex]2\pi r= 2 \times \pi \times 60 \\\\=377m[/tex]
The circumference of the circle is 377m
At this point, we will have to take note that the pods are equally spaced.
To get the distance between the sixth pod and the tenth pod, we will have to use the principle of fractions of a whole.
There are 12 seats in total, the distance between the 6th and tenth seat is 4 seats. Expressing this distance in terms of seats, as a fraction is 4/12 equally spaced seats.
This ratio can be related to the circumference of the circle as
[tex]= \frac{4}{12} \times377\\\\=125.66m \approx 126m[/tex]
Therefore, the distance between the 6th and 10th seat is approximately 126m
