Question

Vedant runs around a square park of side 42m, three times. Rehan runs around a rectangular park of length 40m and breadth 18m, five times. Who covers more distance? By how much?

Answer 1

Rehan;

76m

Explanation:

Distance covered by running around square park :

Perimeter of square = 4s ; s = side length of square

Perimeter = 4 * 42m = 168 m

Total distance covered = 168m * 3 = 504m

Distance covered by running around rectangular park :

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w) ;

Perimeter = 2(40 + 18) = 2(58) = 116 m

Total distance covered = 116m * 5= 580m

580m - 504m = 76m

Rehan covered more distance
