Question

Scouts of D.P.S Sharjah made to run around a regular hexagonal ground fig 9, of perimeter 270 m .If they started running from point X and covered two fifth (2/5th) of the total distance.Which side of the ground will they reach?

Answer 1

Answer:

Side 3 or side 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The ground has 6 sides

Each side is:

• 270 m / 6 = 45 m

It is assumed that total distance is one cycle of 270 m.

Since no diagram attached, the start point X is the beginning of side 1.

Then the distance covered is:

• 270 m * 2/5 = 108 m

As

• 2*45 m = 90 m < 108 m < 3*45 m = 135 m

the scouts reached the side 3 or side 4 of the ground depending on direction of movement (clockwise vs anti-clockwise)
