Question

The park is 3 miles long and 2 miles wide. manuel walked around the park two times. how many miles did he walk in all?

(im pretty sure im wrong but is the answer 12?)

Answer 1

20 miles.

Explanation:

You're on the right track with your answer of 12. You added the sides you knew & multiplied by 2.

I'm picturing the park like a rectangle. So there are two sides that are 3 miles long, and 2 sides that are 2 miles long. For perimeter, we add all the sides.

3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10. And he walked the park twice, so 2 x 10 = 20
