37. AFerris wheel is an amusement ride (temporarily fixed during festivals) consisting of a
rotating upright wheel with multiple passengers carrying components attached to the rim
in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity. After
taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Monika came out from the crowd and was observing her
friends whowere enjoying the ride. She was curious about the different angles and
measures that the wheel will form. She forms the figure as given below.
