Question

An athlete takes 10 rounds of a rectangular park, 50 m long and 25 m wide. Find the total distance covered by him.

Answer 1

Length of the rectangular park = 50 m
Breadth of the rectangular park = 25 m
Total distance covered by the athlete in one round will be the perimeter of the park.
Now, perimeter of the rectangular park = 2 × (length + breadth)

= 2 × (50 m + 25 m)

= 2 × 75 m

= 150 m

So, the distance covered by the athlete in one round is 150 m.

Therefore, distance covered in 10 rounds = 10 × 150 m = 1500m

The total distance covered by the athlete is 1500 m.
