Question

jane is going to walk aonce around the edge of retangular park the park is 200 yards long and 300 feet wide how far will she walk.

Answer 1

Convert 300 feet to yards first.

$300\text{ ft.}\times\frac{1\text{ yd}}{3\text{ ft}}=100\text{ yards}$

Now we have given as 200 yards long and 100 yards wide, solve for perimeter to determine how far she will walk

$\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ l=200\text{ yards} \\ w=100\text{ yards} \\ P=2(200)+2(100) \\ P=400+200 \\ P=600\text{ yards} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, she will walk 600 yards around the rectangular park.
