7. The first Ferris wheel, designed by George Ferris, was built in 1893 in Paris, France. It had a diameter of 50 meters. About how many meters would you travel around in 2 rotations of this wheel? A $$ 314 \mathrm{~m}^{\square} $$ C $$ 157 \mathrm{~m}^{\square} $$ B 3925 \mathrm{~m}^{\mathrm{n}} D $$ 1962.5 \mathrm{~m}^{\square} $$

To determine how many meters you would travel around the Ferris wheel in 2 rotations, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the Circumference of the Ferris Wheel:**
   
   The circumference $$ C $$ of a circle is given by the formula:
   $$
   C = \pi \times d
   $$
   where $$ d $$ is the diameter.

Given:
   $$
   d = 50 \text{ meters}
   $$
   $$
   C = \pi \times 50 \approx 3.1416 \times 50 \approx 157.08 \text{ meters}
   $$

2. **Calculate the Distance for 2 Rotations:**
   
   $$
   \text{Total Distance} = 2 \times C \approx 2 \times 157.08 \approx 314.16 \text{ meters}
   $$

3. **Match with the Given Options:**
   
   The closest option to $$ 314.16 $$ meters is:
   
   **A) $$ 314 \text{ m} $$**

**Answer:**  
**A) 314 m**
You would travel approximately 314 meters in 2 rotations of the Ferris wheel. **Answer:** A) 314 m
