Question

10) Find the total distance covered by an athelete in 6 rounds of a rectangular park that is 60 m long and
40 m wide.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1200

Explanation:

2*(l+b)= perimeter

so,

P= 2*(40+60)

P= 200

so total length covered= 6*200= 1200m

Answer 2

Given :

• Length of the rectangular park = 60 m.
• Breadth of the rectangular park = 40 m.

To Find :

• The total distance covered by an athelete in 6 rounds of a rectangular park.

Solution :

• First, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangular park

$\underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ Perimeter = 2(L + B)}}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Perimeter = 2(60 + 40)}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Perimeter = 2(100)}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Perimeter = 200 m}$

• Hence, the perimeter of the rectangular park = 200 m. It means the distance covered by an athelete in 1 round of a rectangular park = 200 m.

• Now, Finding the total distance covered by an athelete in 6 rounds of a rectangular park.

$\longrightarrow \sf{Distance\: covered \:in \:1\: round = 200 m}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Distance \:covered\: in\: 6\: rounds = 200 \times 6}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Distance \:covered\: in \:6\: rounds = 1200 m}$

• Hence, the total distance covered by an athelete in 6 rounds of a rectangular park = 1200 m.
