Question

A man covers 88 m while going around a square park twice . What is the length of its sides ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of side of square park is 11m

Step-by-step Explanation :

Given : A man covers 88 m while going around a square park twice.

To find : length of Side of square = ?

Let the length of side of square be 'a'

So, According to given conditions,

Man covers 88m ------------- In 2 round

? --------------- In 1 round

( Just simply doing cross multiplication )

distance covered by man in 1 round = 88/2

= 44m

Hence the distance covered by man in single round is 44m which is actually the perimeter of the square.

But we know that,

Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Substituting the value in above formula we get,

44 = 4 × a

a = 44/4

= 11m

Hence the length of side of square park is 11m
