A lion in a cage wakes back and forth 60 feet per min it nearly took centuries to fine a door now with modern equipment he walked 3 thousand miles feet pre minutes and 3 thousand miles by 2 thousand miles to go yet how long will it take him to cover this territory of said 3 thousand by 2 thousand miles at the above walking rate

Answer 1

The cage is rectangular.

In our case, perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

2×3 thousand miles + 2×2 thousand miles=10 thousand miles

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

In this case, 10 thousand miles is equal to 5280×10⁴ feet

The speed of lion is equal to 3000 feet per minute.

The time t is equal to

$t=\frac{5280×104 }{3000}=17600 minutes$

1 day is equal to 1440 minutes

12.22 days

Answer

1440 minutes or 12.22 days
