The side of a square is y metres long How many m will a person walk in making 5 rounds of the field
Answers
Side of square field=y
distance covered by 1 round=
Perimeter of square field = 4×side
=4×y
distance for 5 rounds=5×perimeter
=5×4×y
=20y
The Person Will Walk 20y Meters In Making 5 Rounds Of The Field.
GIVEN
Side of the square = y meters
Total number of rounds = 5
TO FIND
Total distance covered by the person.
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows -
it is given,
The person takes 5 rounds of the field.
So, the distance covered by Taking 1 round of the field will equal the perimeter of the field.
Side of square = y meters.
We know,
where,
a = side of the square
putting the value in the above formula, we get,
The perimeter of the field = 4y meters.
Now, this value is equal to the distance covered in 1 round.
Distance covered in 5 rounds = 5×4y = 20y meters
Hence, the person will walk 20y meters in making 5 rounds of the field.
