Question:

The area of a square park is 81 km2.  What is the time taken to complete a rotation at the speed of 5 km/h?

Options:

7 h 12 min

8 h

7 h 30 min

7 h 48 min

Correct Answer:

7 h 12 min

Explanation:

One rotation around the park = perimeter of square park

                                           = 4 × side

                                           = 4 × \(\sqrt {81}\) = 4 × 9

                                           = 36 km

Time taken to complete this rotation = \(\frac{distance}{speed}\) 

                                                     = \(\frac{36}{5}\)

                                                    = 7.2 hr

                                                    = 7 hr 12 min
