C.
Step 1
Step 2
Find the perimeter of the rectangle
Find the circumference of the circle
P = 2L +
2W
C =
·d
↓ ↓
P = 2(200) + 2(50)
C = 3.14(50)
P = 400 + 100
C = 157
P = 400
(400 x 8 laps) + (157 x 8 laps)
Step 3
3200
+
1256 = 4456
Note: When finding the perimeter of composite figures you must delete the side they share from one of the equations,
it you don’t you’ll end up counting that side twice, and your answer will be wrong. That’s why, 100 was deleted from
the perimeter of the rectangle. The rectangle and the circle share that side, so it was deleted from one of the formulas.

Step 1 This is an unusual problem to solve because you are dealing with the concept of
B
3-dimensions, which usually isn’t covered in great detail until you reach calculus II or III.
Since, we are trying to squeeze the object into the box, we are trying to find the longest
diagonal line within the box.
