If Bruce wants to space 5 people equally around a round table that has a radius of 4 ft, how far apart will the people be?
The circumference would be:
\(C=2*\pi*r\)
\(C=2*3.14*4\)
\(C=3.14*8\)
\(C=25.12\space ft\)
Since you want to find the equal distance from each other, divide the answer by 5.
\(\frac{25.12}{5}=5.024\)
So, your answer is that the equal distance that everyone is far from each other is 5.024
Let's use 3.14 for pi.
3.14*8 will equal the circumference of the circle.
3.14*8 = 25.12
Now, divide by 5 to find the distance they need to be away from each other for the spacing to be equal.
25.12/5 = 5.024
They need to be 5.024 feet from each other for them to be equally spaced. (That's a very large table.)
To find the answer you must
1. divide 4 by 5 = 0.8
2. You check it by 0.8 times 5 which is 4
3. Your answer would be 8 inches apart
The circumference would be:
\(C=2*\pi*r\)
\(C=2*3.14*4\)
\(C=3.14*8\)
\(C=25.12\space ft\)
Since you want to find the equal distance from each other, divide the answer by 5.
\(\frac{25.12}{5}=5.024\)
So, your answer is that the equal distance that everyone is far from each other is 5.024
