Question

An athlete takes 5 rounds of a rectangular park 120 m long and 80m wide.Find the Total distance covered by him

Answer 1

Answer: 2km or 2000m

Step-by-step explanation: The athlete run on the perimeter of the park.

Therefore distance covered in 1 round is: 2(l+b)   .....[perimeter of rectangle]

given: l = 120m, b = 80m

therefore 2 (l+b) = 2(120+80)=2(200)=400m

Therefore distance covered in 5 round is:   5 * 2(l+b) = 5 * 400 = 2000m

or 2km
