Question

Paula runs around the local park. What is the perimeter of the park? 500m x 500m x 350 x 350 x 450 Give your answer in kilometres.

Answer 1

Well,,it is known that the perimeter of any shape is the sum of all its sides' lengths ..

So the perimeter of the park would be:

p=450+500+350+500+350=2150 m = 2.15 km


I hope you got the idea!

Answer 2

2.15 km

Explanation:

Paula runs around the local park.

500m x 500m x 350 x 350 x 450

All the dimensions are in meters

To find the perimeter we add the length of all the sides

500m + 500m + 350 + 350 + 450 = 2150 m

WE know 1 km = 1000 m

To convert meter to kilometer we divide by 1000

so
`(2150)/(1000) = 2.15`

2.15 km
