Question

if the perimeter of a square ground is 48 cm find the length of its sides .if you walk around his square ground two times what distance will you cover?

Answer 1

Question :-

If the perimeter of a square ground is 48 cm . Find the length of it's sides . If you walk around this square ground 2 times . Find the distance covered?

Answer :-

Given :-

Perimeter of the square ground = 48 cm .

No. of rounds made = 2

Required to find :-

• Length of all it's side ?

• Distance covered ?

Formula used :-

$\large{\leadsto{\boxed{Perimeter\; of\; square\; = 4 \times side }}}{\huge{\bigstar}}$

Solution :-

Given :-

Perimeter of a square ground = 48 cm

So,

He asked us to find the length of the side .

So,

Let the side be " x " cm .

According to problem,

$\longrightarrow{\tt{4 \times x\;cm = 48 \; cm}}$

$\longrightarrow{\tt{x \; = \dfrac{48}{4}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\tt{ x = 12 }}$

Hence,

x = 12 cm

So,

Length of the side of the square ground is 12 cm .

Similarly,

Distance travelled in 1 round = Perimeter of the square

So,

Distance travelled in 1 round = 48 cm

Distance travelled in 2 rounds = ?

$\rightarrow{\rm{ 48 \times 2 }}$

$\red{\underline{\implies{\tt{ 96 \; cm }}}}$

$\large{\leadsto{\underline{\boxed{\therefore{ Distance \; covered = 96\; cm }}}}}{\huge{\bigstar}}$

Points to remember :-

• The length of the boundary of given geometrical figure is known as Perimeter .
• Perimeter of a square = 4 x side
• (Or) Simply perimeter is the sum of the sides of the given figure .
• Distance travelled in 1 round = Perimeter of the square

Answer 2

$\huge\sf\red{Answer:}$

☆ Given:

⇒ If the perimeter of a square ground is 48 cm find the length of its sides.

☆ Find:

⇒ Find the distance covered.

☆ Note:

⇒ According to the question let's assume 'x' as the side.

☆ Calculations:

⇒ $\sf (4 \times x) = 48$

⇒ $\sf x = \cancel {\dfrac{48}{4}}$

⇒ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\green{\sf{x = 12 \: cm}}}}}}$

Therefore, 48 cm is the distance for a single round.

☆ Finding the distance covered for two rounds:

⇒ $\sf 48 \times 2$

⇒ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\green{\sf{96}}}}}}$

Therefore, 96 is the distance covered for two rounds.
