Answer

The total distance that Jane covers is

8 (l + w)

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that every morning, Jane runs 4 laps around a rectangular garden with length l, and width w.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as

Perimeter = 2 (l + w)

So, in 1 lap where Jane runs round the garden, she covers a full perimeter of the garden.

1 lap = 2 (l + w)

In 4 laps, she would cover

4 laps = 4 × 2 (l + w)

= 8 (l + w)

Hope this Helps!!!
