Question

A rectangular park is 150 yards on one side and 125 yards on the other. if Debbie walks around the park two times, how far does she walk

Answer 1

Well seeing as how its around the park we think perimeter.

P= 2L +2W
P= 2(150)+ 2(125)
P= 300 + 250
P= 550

so we know the perimeter of the park is 550 yards but she walks this perimeter twice so 550*2 gives you 1100 yards that she walked.<span />
