Question

Emily walked around 2 parks. One measures 54 feet by 38 feet and other measure 32 feet by 22 feet. How much did she walk?

Answer 1

Answer:

292 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If Emily walked round the two rectangular parks, she walked round the perimeter of the parks.

the total distance she walked can be determined by calculating the perimeter of each of the park and adding the perimeters together

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length + breadth)

Perimeter of the first park = 2 x (54 ft + 38 ft) = 184 ft

Perimeter of the second park = 2x (32 + 22) = 108 ft

Sum of the perimeters = 184 ft + 108 ft = 292 ft
