Question

A square park has an area of 196 yards^2.If I run around it 3 times how far will I have run?

Answer 1

168 yards

Explanation:

The park is a square. Therefore all sides are equal.

Area is length x width.

196=l x w

Square root 196 to get 14.

14 x 14 = 196

All sides equal 14.

You need perimeter if its around.

P= 14 x 4

The perimeter is 56.

It was ran around 3 time though so you have to times that by 3.

56 x 3

168 yards.
