Question

How many meters does randy walk?

Answer 1

Answer:

Randy walks in his daily routine:

• 500 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to take the points of the Cartesian plane and take distances, in the first instance the points (-5, -2) and (-5, 9), if you locate these points on the plane you will realize that the distance that separates them is 11 units, then you locate the point (9, 9) and you will notice that it separates from the point (-5, 9) in 14 units, so you can continue locating the remaining points and measuring their distances, however, I anticipate you that since it is a perfect rectangle, there are two short sides of 11 units and two long sides of 14 units, so the perimeter of the rectangle is:

• Perimeter of the rectangle = 14 * 2 + 11 * 2
• Perimeter of the rectangle = 50 units.

As the problem specifies that each unit corresponds to 10 meters, the value in units must be multiplied by 10 and obtain said value in meters:

• Perimeter of the rectangle in meters = 50 * 10 = 500 meters.

For this reason, Randy walks his neighborhood for a total of 500 meters.
