Question

A large conference table is made from four rectangular sections and four corner sections.Each rectangular section is 4m long and 1.2m wide.Each corner is a quarter circle, radius 1.2mEach person sitting at the corner table requires one meter of its outside perimeter.Calculate the greatest number of people who can sit around the outside of the table

Answer 1

Total length of two sides= 4x2 = 8m
Total width of two sides = 1.2x2 =2.4m
perimeter = 2(l+b)
=2x8+2.4
=20.8m

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth  
= 8x2.4
= 19.2m
