Question

use the information from the scenario to decide if you need to find the perimeter/circumference or the area. sort the statements below into their correct categories. 1 choice for each category. a running track answer bank the distance an athlete walks in one lap the material needed to build the grassy area

Explanation:

• Perimeter/Circumference: The perimeter (or circumference, when dealing with circular - like parts) measures the total length around a shape. When an athlete walks one lap, they are covering the outer boundary of the running track. So, the distance an athlete walks in one lap is related to the perimeter (or circumference) of the track.
• Area: The area measures the amount of surface within a shape. The material needed to build the grassy area is related to the amount of surface (the area) that needs to be covered with grass.

Answer:

• Perimeter or circumference: the distance an athlete walks in one lap
• Area: the material needed to build the grassy area
