The coach of a football team asked his players to do six laps of the field. The field is in the shape of a rectangle of length 100 m and width 50 m. What is the distance each player will run, in meters? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
One lap corresponds to the perimeter of a rectangle of 100 m length and 50 m width: 2 * 100 + 2 * 50 = 300 metres. Each player has to do six turns of the field, so runs 6 * 300 = 1800 meters. So, the answer is 1800.
