Me. Marcos the gym teacher had the seventh graders run around the perimeter of the gym 3 times the gym has a length of 34 feet and a width of 58 feet what was the total distance the students ran

Answer: the total distance that the students ran is 552 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gym is rectangular in shape. The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the shape. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

The gym has a length of 34 feet and a width of 58 feet. Therefore,

Perimeter = 2 (34 + 58) = 184 feet

Since the seventh graders ran around the perimeter of the gym 3 times, then the total distance that the students ran is

184 * 3 = 552 feet
