Question
A school playground is rectangular in shape with length = 120 m and breadth = 90 m. Some school boys run along the boundary of the play-ground and make 15 complete rounds in 45 minutes. How much distance they run during this period.
Solution
Length of the rectangular playground = 120 mBreadth of the rectangular playground = 90 m
∴ Perimeter of the rectangular ground = 2(l + b)
= 2(120 + 90) m = 420 m
