Question
Zara walks around her neighbourhood in a perfect square where each side is 400 m long. She returns home so her displacement is zero. What distance did she travel?
Solution
Zara walked around her neighbourhood which is a perfect square. Each side of the square is 400 m long.
A square has 4 equal sides.
So, to find the total distance Zara travelled, we multiply the length of one side by the number of sides.
That is, 400 m (length of one side) * 4 (number of sides) = 1600 m
So, Zara travelled a total distance of 1600 m.
