the area of a rectangular field is 3584m sq and its lenght is 64m. A boy runs around the field at the rate of 6 km/h. how long will he take to go 5 times around it?

Length of rectangular field = 64 m
Area of rectangular field = 3584 m2
So breadth of rectangular field = 358464 = 56 m
Then, Perimeter of rectangular field = 264+56 = 240 m
Now a boy is running 5 times around the field. So total distance covered by a boy = 240×5 = 1200 m
Speed = 6km/h = 6×100060×60 = 53m/s
So time taken by boy to cover the total distance = 120053=1200×35 = 720
therefore time taken by boy is 720 seconds.

let the breadth be 'x'

leght = 64 m

area of rectangular field = l * b

3584 = 64 * x

3584/64 = x

56 m = x

breadth = 56 m

perimeter of the field = 2(l+b)

= 2(64+56)

= 2(120)

= 240 m

speed of the boy = 6km/h

time =distance/speed

= 240*5*60/6000

= 12 mins

the boy takes 12 mins to go 5 times around the field
