Please note that there is insufficient information required to complete this task. The calculation of the diameter of the saucer would have been possible if we were given the width of the 10-person party not their height.

What is the formula for calculating diameter?

The formula for calculating the diameter of a circular object in relation to circumference is given as the Circumference of an object divided by Pi (π). That is

If the width of the men were given, and they had stood around the saucer as close to each other as they could, then the circumference of the saucer would have been estimated as:

10 * (width of the men). = 10X

Diameter becomes = 10X/π

Remember, the answer must be in feet.
