rings do not have corners, but if they are standing on opposite sides directly across from each other, it would be 20ft

You need the Pythagorean thereom to solve this. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. You're trying to find the hypotenuse, or c. Both a and b = 20 in this case, so you're solving for the square root of 20^2 + 20^2. I'll let you do the math part.

A ring is made of an infinite number of straight segments so it would be kind of hard to do 20' x infinite. What is the length of either the radius (easiest) or diameter? That's what you need to find out first. If the radius is 10' then they are 20' apart.

If the ring has a circumference of 20 feet, the diameter is 6.366197723675814 feet. The two people are 6.4 feet apart.

If you mean a boxing ring they would be 20*sqrt(2) = 28.28ft apart. Assuming they are right on the edge.

well "corners" would be ooposite sides i suppose, which means they will always be 20 ft apart.

"Ring" usually means circle, which doesn't have sides. So just how many sides (corners) does your polygonal "ring" have?
