Answer:
1978.2 or 630π feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The Ferris wheel will rotate 3 * 5 = 15 times during the 5 minute ride and the radius is 42 / 2 = 21 feet. Since C = 2πr, r = 21 and π ≈ 3.14, C = 2 * 3.14 * 21 = 131.88. However, this only accounts for one rotation so the answer is 131.88 * 15 = 1978.2 or 630π feet.
