The rectangle is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. How many steps do you need

The rectangle is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. How many steps do you need to go to get around the rectangle if the step length is 72 cm.

By condition, it is known that the length and width of the rectangular section are 18 meters and 9 meters, respectively.

Let’s calculate what the perimeter of this section is:

P = 2 * (a + b);

P = 2 * (18 + 9) = 2 * 27 = 54 meters.

Let’s express the perimeter in centimeters:

54 m = 5400 cm.

Let’s calculate how many steps need to be taken in order to bypass this section along the perimeter, taking into account that the length of one step is 72 centimeters:

5400/72 = 75.

Answer: you need to take 75 steps to go around this rectangle.
