Answer» From the question we have, Area of the rectangular field = 3584 m2 Length of the rectangular field = 64 m Boy runs around the field at the rate = 6 km/h = ((6 × 1000) / 60) m/min = 100 m/min Breadth of the rectangular field = (area /length) = (3584/ 64) = 56 m ∴perimeter of the field = 2(l + b) units = 2 (64 + 56) = 2 (120) = 240m Total distance covered by the boy = 5 × perimeter of the field = 5 × 240 = 1200m ∴required time to cover the distance of 1200m = (1200/100) = 12min Hence, boy took 12 min to go 5 times around of rectangular field. |
