Question

A park is 4.6 miles long and 2.7 miles wide. A:what is the total distance around the park? B:if a racecar drove 50 times around the park, how far will it go?

Answer 1

A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The length of park = 4.6 miles

The width of park = 2.7 miles

Let the total distance cover around park = Perimeter of park = P miles

So, Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 × Length + 2 × width

or, P = 2 × 4.6 + 2 × 2.7

I.e P = 9.2 + 5.4

Or, perimeter = 14.6 miles

A ) ∴ Total distance around the park = 14.6 miles

B ) The total distance drove by racer = 50 times around the park

So, The total distance drove by car = 50 × Total distance around the park

∴The total distance drove by car = 50 × 14.6 = 730 miles

Hence A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles answer
