Question

If you swim from one point at the edge of the pool to another, along a straight line, what is the longest distance d you can swim?

Answer 1

The longest distance that a person can swim is 5.64 m.

What is the longest distance?

We know that the diameter of a circle is a line that is drawn from one point to another in the circle. Now we are told that the pool is circular in nature. That implies that the longest that a person can swim could be obtained form the diameter of the circle.

Given that;

A =  πr^2

A = area of teh circular pool

r  = radius of the pool

r = √A/ π

r = √25/3.142

r = 2.82m

Diameter of the circular pool = 2 r = 2 (2.82 cm) = 5.64 m
