A physics book is moved once around the perimeter of a table of dimensions 1 m by 3 m. If the book ends up at its initial position, what is the distance traveled

Respuesta :

HamK

Answer: 8 m.

Explanation:

Use formula of perimeter of rectangle.

Perimeter = 2( l + b)

=2( 3 + 1 )

=8 m

the distance traveled by the book as he moves around the table is 8 m.

The perimeter of the table is equal to the distance traveled by the book around the table

To calculate the perimeter of the table, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = 2(l+w)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Perimeter of the table
  • l = length of the table
  • w = width of the table.

From the question,

Given:

  • l = 1 m
  • w = 3 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • P = 2(1+3)
  • P = 2(4)
  • P = 8 m.

Hence, the distance traveled by the book as he moves around the table is 8 m.
