Question

Before soccer practice,Jovan warms up by jogging around a soccer field that is 100 yards by 130 yards.How many yards dose he jog if he goes around the field four times?

Answer 1

`1,840\ yd`

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the perimeter of a rectangular soccer field

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

`P=2(L+W)`

we have

`L=130\ yd\\W=100\ yd`

substitute the values

`P=2(130+100)`

`P=460\ yd`

step 2

we know that

Jovan goes around the field four times

so

To find out the number of yards that he runs, multiply the perimeter by four.

`460(4)=1,840\ yd`
