Kristin boards a Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock position and rides the Ferris wheel for one full rotation (as shown below). The radius of the Ferris wheel is 10 meters. Imagine an angle with a vertex at the center of the Ferris wheel that subtends the arc along which Kristin travels. a. If Kristin travels 11 meters, what is the angle's measure in radians? radians Preview b. If Kristin travels 27 meters, what is the angles' measure in radians? radians Preview Kristin c. Let s represent the varying number of meters that Kristin has traveled since the Ferris wheel started rotating. Write an expression that represents the varying measure of the angle (in radians).
