Question

. A sportsman takes 5 rounds of a rectangular park ,18 m long and 12 m wide,

Find the total distance covered by the sports man.​

Answer 1

Answer:

perimeter of rectangle =l×b

12m ×18m=216 m²

216 ×5 =1080m

Answer 2

300m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• A sportsman takes 5 rounds of a rectangular park.
• Length = 18 m
• Breadth = 12 m

To find:

• Total distance covered by the sportsman.

Solution:

First, let us find the distance covered by the sportsman for 1 round. The distance covered is also the same as perimeter of the rectangular park.

➡ Perimeter = 2(l+b)

➡ Perimeter = 2(18+12)

➡ Perimeter = 2×30

➡ Perimeter = 60 m

Hence, the distance covered by the sportsman for 1 round is 60m. Since, he covered the park 5 times, then:

➡ Total Distance = 5×Perimeter

➡ Total Distance = 5×60

➡ Total Distance = 300 m

The total distance covered by the ssportsman is 300m.
