By using definitions of scale and perimeter, we find that the actual perimeter of the park is equal to 251 meters.
Scales are ratios between scaled lengths and real lengths. There are increase and decrease ratio. In this problem we have an example of a decrease ratio, where real length is greater than scaled length. Besides, geometry taught us that the perimeter of a geometric locus is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.
Therefore, the actual perimeter (p), in meters, is found by multiplying the scaled length (p'), in meters, by the reduction factor (k), no unit, that is:
p = k · p'
p = 1,000 · (0.251 m)
p = 251 m
