Question

Raghu walks around a park whose dimensions are given in the figure. How much distance will he cover in two rounds?

[2 marks]

Answer 1

Solution:

The length of the boundary of a closed planar figure is called its perimeter.

One round around the park represents its perimeter.


Raghu walks two times around the park.
So, the total distance covered
$=2\times$ Perimeter of the park
$=2\times (66+75+102+85)m$

$=(2\times 328)m=656m$
