This is probably an easy question but I don't get it. Please answer in a easy way :P

Imagine you want to paint circles on a linear line. The line is 100cm long. On the right side you have a circle with a diameter of 15 cm. Now I want to draw more circles until the 100cm are full.

So basically this: o o o o o o o but with variable diameters. Right is the biggest and the left the smallest. There must be a space between them.

So since I don't know how I should go about this I also can't define the variables. The right circle, the biggest one, should be variable and all the others should depend on them. Also I'd say I defined the number of circles and the space is "generated".

Anyway, I need a few circles which gets smaller. Whats the best way?

Of course I just could say I make 8 circles and each in is 2cm bigger and try out what goes the best, but somehow I'm also doing this to learn a bit math/geometry etc. :)

    How many circles? How much space between? How can the line be "full of circles" if there is space between? What do you mean by "best way"?2012-06-07
