There are six poles on a side of a 1 km 200 m long straight road such that there is a pole at the starting and end points of the road. If the poles are equally spaced, then what is the distance between each consecutive pole?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance is 200m between each pole

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the length of the road into meters

        1km= 1000m

        1000m +200m= 1200m

There are 6 poles on the side and they're equally spaced

Divide the length of the road by the number of poles to get the distance between the poles

        Distance between poles= Length of road/ Number of poles

        Distance between poles= 1200m/ 6 poles

       Distance between poles= 200m
