Before soccer practice, Laura warms up by jogging around the soccer field that is 80 yards by 120 yards. How many yards does she jog if she goes around the field two times?

Answer:

800 yd

Explanation:

Each time she goes around she jogs the perimeter of the field.

perimeter = 2(length + width)

P = 2(120 yd + 80 yd) = 400 yd

She goes around twice, so she goes around the length of two perimeters.

2P = 2 × 400 yd = 800 yd
