What is the Circumference of a circle?

The Circumference of a circle is defined as the product of the diameter of the circle and pi.

C = πd

where 'd' is the diameter of the circle

The expression is given in the question as:

⇒ 3.14d

The circumference of the Ferris wheel can be determined by multiplying the diameter, d, by (3.14).

Thus, the circumference of the Ferris wheel is:

⇒ 3.14 × 520 = 1635.2 feet.

Since the Ferris wheel makes one full rotation in one ride, the distance traveled by a passenger on each rotation of the Ferris wheel is 1635.2 feet.
