Question

An athlete run 3 times around a fields whose length is 150 m and breadth is 75 m.find the distance covered by him.

Answer 1

total distance covered =900*3=2700m

Answer 2

The total distance covered by the athlete is 1.35 kilometres.

Given data :

Length of the field is 150 metres.

Breadth of the field is 75 metres.

Running rounds are for 3 times.

• Now,we have to calculate the total distance covered by the athlete by using the following mathematical formula :

= ( Perimeter of the field × Running round number)

• So,we have to calculate the perimeter of the field first by using the following mathematical formula

= 2× ( length + breadth)

= 2× (150+75)

= 2× 225

= 450 metres

The total distance covered by the athlete = (450×3) = 1350 metres = 1.35 kilometres (answer)

[ term of unit conversion is 1000 metres = 1 kilometre]
