Question

A rectangular playing field is 80m by 100m, if Ali wants to make 3 rounds around this field, how many meters will he cover altogether?

(please explain well)

Answer 1

Ali will cover 1,080m altogether.

Explanation

If the field is 80m by 100m and there are 2 sides of each of those measurements to make a whole round around the field, then one round would be (80m x 2) + (100m x 2) = 360. Since Ali wants to do three laps around the field, then you multiply 360 x 3 to get 1080m total.
