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 on the circumference of the circle, we need to calculate the circumference of the circle first. The formula for the circumference (C) is given by:

$C = ext{diameter} imes ext{pi}$

Here, the diameter is 80 metres. Thus:

C = 80 imes rac{22}{7} \\ C \approx 251.2 ext{ metres}

Since there are 8 points equally spaced, the distance between two consecutive points is:

$\text{Distance} = \frac{C}{8} \approx \frac{251.2}{8} \approx 31.4 ext{ metres}$
