Question

Sanju completes 12 rounds around a square park every day. If one side of the park is 120 m, find out in kilometres and metres the distance that Sanju covers daily.

Answer 1

The perimeter of a square

= 4 x length of one side

= 4 x 120

= 480 m

So, in one round the distance can be covered is 480 m; hence, in 12 rounds the distance can be covered is,

= 480 x 12 = 5760 m

= 5000 m + 760 m

∴ Sanju covers 5 kilometres and 760 metres daily.
