Question

A square field has an area of 144 metres squared. If Andrea walked 10 times around this field, what distance did she cover?

​

Answer 1

480m

Explanation:

First we have to find the perimeter of the field.

We know that the area is 144m and that the field is a square.

Since a squares sides are all equal, we can do
`√(144)`, which is 12m.

So, one side of the field is 12m; now we just find the perimeter which is easy since its a square. 12*4=48m

If Andrea walked around it 10 times, then we just multiply the perimeter by 10

48*10=480m
