Therefore the diameter of each glass is 3.14 * d= 3.14 * 4 i.e. 4. Now with a diameter of 4, how many glasses can be put along the length of the table? It will be 48/4=12. Similarly along the width 32/4=8. Therfore, total glasses that can be placed are 12*8=96. HTH, ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
