Question

Dwayne walks a total of 960 feet around 3 sides of a square city block. Which

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter is 1280ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length of the square be s.

Then the distance around three sides is 3s.

According to the question the distance around 3 sides of a square city block is 960 feet.

This implies that:

$3s = 960$

$s = \frac{960}{3}$

$s = 320$

The perimeter of a square is

$p = 4s$

Substitute s=320 to get:

$p = 4(320)$

$p = 1280$

The perimeter is 1280 ft

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4 P = 960

P = 960 • 4/3

P = 1,280
