Penelope jogs three laps around the playground to keep in shape. the playground is rectangular with width of 163 m and a length of 320 m. find the total amount of meters in one lap.

The total amount of meters in one lap is 966 m

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

Length of Rectangle = L = 320 m

Width of Rectangle = W = 163 m

Unknown:

Perimeter of Rectangle = P = ?

Solution:

This problem is about Perimeter of Rectangle.

The total amount of meters in one lap is equal to the perimeter of playground.

Let's find the perimeter of Rectangle.

The total amount of meters in one lap is 966 meters

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
