A Ferris wheel is 20m in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 2m above the ground. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 6 minutes. How many minutes of the ride are spent 13m above the ground or higher? (The answer is 2.81 minutes)
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
