Cullen · Answer 1

The circumference would be 30 ft, which comes from 6 people have 5ft of space each. 6 x 5 = 30. Which means the diameter is 9.55414013; Circumference divided by pi is the diameter. Once you divide the diameter by 2 for the radius, you get 4.777 which can be used to find the area of the table top. Area is pi x radius x radius = 3.14 x 4.777 x 4.777 = 71.654 ft^2
