Question

A rectangular park is$95\mathrm{m}$ long and $33\mathrm{m}$ wide, Sachin completes eight rounds around the park. How much distance does he cover?

Answer 1

Step $1$: Find perimeter of rectangular park:

Given, length of a rectangular park $=$$95\mathrm{m}$

Breadth of the rectangular park $=$$33\mathrm{m}$

To find How much distance does Sachin cover in completing 8 rounds of the park.

$\because$ Perimeter of the rectangular park $=2(\mathrm{Length}+\mathrm{Breadth})$

$\Rightarrow$Perimeter of the rectangular park $=2(95+33)$

$$\begin{gathered} =2\times \left(128\right) \\ =256\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

Step $2$: Find total distance covered by Sachin:

We know that, Perimeter of the rectangular park $=$ Distance covered by Sachin in completing $1$ round of the rectangular park.

$\Rightarrow$ the distance covered by Sachin in completing $1$ round of the rectangular park $=256\mathrm{m}$.

$\Rightarrow$ distance covered by Sachin in completing $8$ rounds of the park $$\begin{gathered} =8\times (\mathrm{perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{ractangular}\mathrm{park}) \\ =8\times 256\mathrm{m} \\ =2,048\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the distance covered by Sachin in completing $8$ round of the rectangular park $=2,048\mathrm{m}$
