Final answer:

To determine the distance between the bins of a compound 90 bend using 45° bins, we can use trigonometry. The distance would be 9.42 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the distance between the bins of a compound 90 bend using 45° bins, we can use trigonometry.

Since we are dealing with a 90 bend, there will be two 45° bins.

Let's assume the diameter of the round obstruction is 6 inches.

The distance between the bins can be calculated by finding the circumference of the round obstruction (C = πd) and dividing it by 2.

So, the distance between the bins would be (πd/2) or (3.14 x 6/2) = 9.42 inches.
