To find the total length of the race course around the triangle-shaped grassy area, we need to add the lengths of all three sides of the triangle.

From the information you've provided, it appears the lengths are:

  • Side 1: 2.4 km
  • Side 2: 1.524 km
  • Side 3: 1.83 km

Now, let's sum these lengths: \[ 2.4 , \text{km} + 1.524 , \text{km} + 1.83 , \text{km} = 5.754 , \text{km} \]

So, the total length of the race course is 5.754 km.
