Question

A rectangular park that measures 245 yards by 420 yards has a sidewalk around it. What is the least distance a person must walk to go around the park once?
a.)665 yards
b.)910 yards
c.)1,085 yards
d.)1,330 yards

Answer 1

The least distance a person must walk to go around the park once is D. 1,330 YARDS.

We need to get the perimeter of the rectangular park. 

P = 2 (l + w)
P = 2 (420 + 245)
P = 2 (665)
P = 1330 YDS
