Me. Marcos the gym teacher had the seventh graders run around the perimeter of the gym 3 times the gym has a length of 34 feet and a width of 58 feet what was the total distance the students ran

the total distance that the students ran is 552 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gym is rectangular in shape. The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the shape. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The gym has a length of 34 feet and a width of 58 feet. Therefore,

Perimeter = 2(34 + 58) = 184 feet

Since the seventh graders ran around the perimeter of the gym 3 times, then the total distance that the students ran is

184 × 3 = 552 feet

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
