A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as:

The length of park = 4.6 miles

The width of park = 2.7 miles

Let the total distance cover around park = Perimeter of park = P miles

So, Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 * Length + 2 * width

or, P = 2 * 4.6 + 2 * 2.7

I. e P = 9.2 + 5.4

Or, perimeter = 14.6 miles

A) ∴ Total distance around the park = 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer = 50 times around the park

So, The total distance drove by car = 50 * Total distance around the park

∴The total distance drove by car = 50 * 14.6 = 730 miles

Hence A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles answer
