Answer:
Distance = 1200 m
Explanation:
A child pedals her tricycle around her block, returning to her starting point. Her block is a rectangle of length 500 meters and width 100 meters.
We need to find the distance traveled by the child. The distance travelled on a rectangular path is equal to its perimeter i.e.
P = 2(l+b)
P = 2(500+100)
= 2(600)
= 1200 m
Hence, she had traveled 1200 m.
