Show answer & explanation

Understanding

Application

Area of a square playground = 1127.6164 sq. m.

So,

Side of the ground

= √1127.6164

= 33.58 meter

Perimeter of square = 4 × Side

Hence,

Perimeter of ground

= 4 × 33.58

= 134.32 m

Speed = 2 (9/20) = 49/20 mtr/min

Hence,

Required time

= 134.32/(49/20)

= 54.82 min
