Question

a person runs around a square field of side 70m, while another person runs around a rectangular field with length 90m and breadth 60m. Who covers more distance by how much?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

The side of a square field = 70 m

The dimensions of a rectangular field with length 90m and breadth 60m.

The distance covered by the person on square field is given by :

P = 4×side

= 4×70

= 140 m

The distance covered by the person on a rectangular field is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

= 2(90+60)

= 2×150

= 300 m

Hence, a person will cover more distance in the rectangular field.
