Question

4 a model of a square wrestling mat is shown on the right. anthony jogged the perimeter of the mat a number of times during practice today. he jogged 1,300 yards in all. how many times did anthony jog the perimeter of the mat? f 25 g 13 h 27 j 10

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter of the square mat

The perimeter formula of a square is $P = 4s$ (where $s$ is the side - length). Given $s = 13$ yards, so $P=4\times13 = 52$ yards.

Step2: Calculate the number of times Anthony jogged the perimeter

Let the number of times be $n$. We know the total distance jogged is 1300 yards. Using the formula $n=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Perimeter}}$, so $n=\frac{1300}{52}= 25$.
