Hasmeet walks once round a circle with diameter 80 metres - Edexcel - GCSE Maths - Question 3 - 2017 - Paper 2

To find the distance between one point and the next point on the circle, we first need to compute the circumference of the circle using the formula:

$C = ext{diameter} imes ext{π}$

Given that the diameter is 80 metres, we have:

$C = 80 imes ext{π}$

Now, since there are 8 points equally spaced along the circumference, the distance between one point and the next point is:

$d = \frac{C}{ ext{number of points}} = \frac{80 imes ext{π}}{8} = 10 imes ext{π}$

Using the approximate value of π (3.14), we calculate:

$d \approx 10 \times 3.14 = 31.4 ext{ metres}$
