Tony visits the local fair and sees one if therides, the ferris wheel. The ferris wheel has a diameter of 50 feet and is on a platform of 4 feet. if it takes 12 seconds to make one full revolution, what is the equation of the height of a person on the ferris wheel at any time 't'?

There are several ways to do this, but here's one.  Assuming that, at t = 0, height = 29 ft, we have :

 

h(t)  =  29 + 25sin [(pi/6) * t ]

 

Here's a positional graph : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/uwjipvodqu
