The total amount of meters in one lap is 966 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

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 )

<em>Let us now tackle the problem !</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Length of Rectangle = L = 320 m

Width of Rectangle = W = 163 m

<u>Unknown:</u>

Perimeter of Rectangle = P = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Perimeter of Rectangle.

<em>The total amount of meters in one lap is equal to the perimeter of playground.</em>

<em>Let's find the perimeter of Rectangle.</em>

$\texttt{Perimeter of Rectangle} = 2 (\texttt{Length} + \texttt{Width})$

$P = 2 ( L + W )$

$P = 2 ( 320 + 163 )$

$P = 2 ( 483 )$

$P = \boxed {966 ~ \texttt{m}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

The total amount of meters in one lap is 966 meters
