Question

An athlete takes 8 rounds of a rectangular field which is 125 m long and 75 m wide . Find the total distance covered by him .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

distance covered will be the perimeter of the rectangle in one round

perimeter = 2(l+b)

perimeter = 2( 125+75 )

perimeter = 400m

he took 8 rounds so 8× 400m = 3200m

so the distance covered by the athelete is 3200m

Answer 2

Required Answer:-

Given:

• An athlete takes 8 rounds of a rectangular field which is 125m long and 75m wide.

To find:

• The total distance covered by him.

Solution:

Total distance covered by the athlete will be equal to 8 times the perimeter of the field.

Here,

➡ Length of field = 125 m.

➡ Breadth of field = 75 m.

So, Perimeter of the field will be,

= 2 × (Length + Breadth)

= 2 × (125 + 75) m

= 2 × 200 m

= 400 m.

➡ Hence, the perimeter of the field is 400m.

As the man takes 8 rounds of the field, so total distance he covered is,

= 8 × 400m

= 3200m

= 3.2km.

★ Hence, the man covers a distance of 3.2 km.

Answer:

• The man covers a distance of 3.2 km.
