Solution

The correct option is B 5,290 m
The lengths of the four sides are 1 km 60 m, 1 km 10 m, 1 km 20 m, and 2 km 200 m, respectively.

So,
Total length of fence = Sum of lengths of all
sides of the park

Add all four sides by taking the common units separately.


∴ Length of four sides = 5 km 290 m

We know, 1 km = 1000 m
5 km=5×1000 m=5,000 m

So, length of all four sides = 5,000 m + 290 m = 5,290 m
