An L-shaped park is made by removing a small square corner of side 10 m from a large square of side 40 m. The outline of the L-shape still uses every edge of the large square except the cut corner, plus the two cut edges. What is the perimeter of the L-shaped park?

Question

Accepted Answer

160. Removing a corner square does not change the perimeter of a square: the two outer edges removed (each 10 m) are exactly replaced by the two inner cut edges (each 10 m). Perimeter stays 4 × 40 = 160 m.
