Question

Ignoring the corner rounding, what is the distance around a hockey rink?

Answer 1

To answer this question we will use the following formula to compute the perimeter of a rectangle:

`Perimeter=2(length+width).`

Substituting length=200 ft and width=85 ft we get:

`Perimeter=2(200ft+85ft).`

Simplifying the above result we get:

`\begin{gathered} Perimeter=2(285ft) \\ =570ft. \end{gathered}`

Answer: Last option.
