A park ranger plants a tree?

Question

A park ranger wants to plant 6 trees so that they will stand equally spaced around the outer edge of a circular park. The park has a diameter of 200 feet. About how many feet around the park's outer border should she walk between planting each tree? Use the decimal approximation for π.

A. 209

B. 105

C. 52

D. 98

Answer 1

This really belongs in the mathematics section, not the botany section.

I beleive the answer is c

Answer 2

The distance around a circle is pi times the diameter.  Therefore, the distance around the park is somewhat greater than 600 feet.  If you want to find six points equidistant on the circle, you would divide by 6.

Since pi is larger than 3, the circle is greater than 600 feet around.  The only answer that makes sense is B.
