Question

Ishmail jogs around a track that is in the shape of a regular pentagon. One side of the pentagon is 1/4 mile long. How far does Ishmail jog if he completes 6 laps around the track?

Answer 1

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side is 1/4 miles long,

a pentagon has 5 equal sides, therefore, total distance around the track in one lap is 1/4 x 5 = 5/4 miles

If he completes 6 laps, then total distance jogged will be 6 x 5/4 = 30/4 = 7.5 miles
