Where Math Gets Real
Where Math Gets Real The Horns Reef Offshore Wind Farms in Denmark is the largest producer of offshore wind energy. One section of the wind farm contains 91 turbines. The diameter of each turbine measures 93 meters. 1. What’s the radius of each turbine?
2. The blades of the turbine spin to create a circle. What’s the area of this circle, or blade sweep? Use the approximation 3.14 for pi.
