Distance covered in 5 times = 1km = 1000m
Distance covered in one time = 1000/5 = 200m
Perimeter of park = 200m
>Perimeter of park = 4 × Side
> 200 = 4 × Side
> 200/4 = Side
> Side = 50m
> Area = Side × Side
= 50 × 50
= 2500m²

Answer:
The area of the park is 2500 m² or 0.0025 km² .
Step-by-step explanation:
All sides of a square are of equal length , so let
the length of the sides of the square park is α meters .
then the perimeter of the square park is 4α meters.
The man covers 1 km distance by running around the park's perimeter 5 times.
then , 4α × 5 = 1000 m ( 1 km = 1000 m )
⇒20α = 1000
⇒ α = 50 meters
then the area of the park is , α² = (50)² = 2500 m² or 0.0025 km²
