Question 1058818: I have 24 strands of Christmas lights extending from a round telephone pole that reach out to 15feet each. How far apart should the strands be staked on the ground to form a circle within each strand being 15 feet away from the pole. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The diameter of a circle is 2πr, which, in this case, will be 30π. 30π/24=1.25π ft. apart as the necessary distance between strands, at the outermost part.
