Question

Jigar jogs around a rectangular garden which is 20 m long and 15 m wide. If he jogs around the garden 5 times, what is the total distance that Jigar jogged?

Answer 1

❍ Given :-

➸ Measures of rectangular garden :-

• Length (long) = 20 m
• Breadth (wide) = 15 m

❍ To Find :-

• Total distance jogged by Jigar 5 times

❍ Solution :-

➸ Jigar jogged 5 times around the park, hence will take perimeter of park.

$\small \implies \boxed{\mathtt{Perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2(l + b)}}$

$\small{\mathtt{→Perimeter \: of \: park = 2(20 + 15)}}$

$\small{\mathtt{→Perimeter \: of \: park = 2(35)}}$

$\small{\mathtt{→Perimeter \: of \: park = 70m}}$

➸ As Jigar jogged 5 times around the park, we will multiply 5 to the perimeter of the park.

⇝ Total distance = 70m × 5

⇝ Total distance = 350m

Hence, total distance covered by Jigar is 350m.
