Answer: she runs 132 feets in each lap and 660 feets in 5 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
Stella runs laps around the edge of the yard. This means she runs round the entire shape of the yard.
Miss bridgeyard is 24 ft by 42 ft. This means that the length and width of Miss bridgeyard are not the same. Therefore, Miss bridgeyard has the shape of a rectangle. The distance that stella covers in one lap is the perimeter of the rectangular Miss bridgeyard.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( L + W )
If length,L = 42 feets and
Width ,W = 24 feets, the perimeter would be
2(42+24)/= 2×66 = 132 feets
She runs a distance of 132 feets in one lap.
Distance in 5 laps would be
132 × 5 = 660 feets
