The length of the base side of the Cheops side is 230 m. Tourists inspecting the pyramid walk 0.32 m / s.

The length of the base side of the Cheops side is 230 m. Tourists inspecting the pyramid walk 0.32 m / s. Will tourists have time to walk around the pyramid in an hour?

The base of the pyramid is a square.
The distance that tourists must travel is equal to the perimeter of the square.
Find the perimeter of the square:
Р = 4а = 4 * 230 m = 920 meters tourists must pass.
Let’s write down the formula for determining the speed of uniform movement:
V = S / t;
V – speed of movement;
S – distance traveled;
t – travel time.
Let’s find the time of movement of tourists:
t = S / V = 920 meters / 0.32 m / s = 2875 seconds.
We remember that 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds.
Answer: tourists will go around the pyramid faster.
