r r SOLUTION Write model for speed of the ride. 2.61 Substitute 2.61 for r. s s 4.95 4.95 4.95 = = = Example 6 Using a Square Root in Real Life AMUSEMENT PARKS The model gives the speed needed to keep riders pinned to the wall of an amusement park ride. In the model, s is the speed (in meters per second) and r is the radius of the ride (in meters). Find the speed necessary to keep riders pinned to the wall of a ride that has a radius of 2.61 meters.
ANSWER Multiply. 8.019 = The speed should be about 8 meters per second. ( ) 1.62 Example 6 Using a Square Root in Real Life Approximate the square root using a calculator. 4.95 ≈
