Answer
2617.
Explanation
To estimate the number of people that can fit into a circular arena with a diameter of 100 yards, we first need to find the area of the arena. To do this, we can use the formula for the area of a circle, which is equal to pi times the radius squared. Since the diameter of the arena is 100 yards, the radius would be half of that, or 50 yards. Plugging this value into the formula for the area of a circle, we get:
Area = pi * 50^2
Since pi is approximately equal to 3.14, we can plug this value into the equation to get:
Area = 3.14 * 50^2
This simplifies to:
Area = 3.14 * 2500
Which gives us an area of approximately 7850 square yards.
Since one person requires a personal space of 3 square feet, we can divide the total area of the arena by 3 to find the number of people that can fit in the arena. This gives us:
7850 square yards / 3 square feet/person = 2616.666... people
Rounded to the nearest whole number, this means that approximately 2617 people could fit in the circular arena with a diameter of 100 yards.
