Answers
ANSWER :
- When Tina ran around a rectangular garden of length 12 metres and breadth 8 metres and Meena ran around a square field of side 11 metres, Meena covers more distance by 4 metres than Tina.
SOLUTION :
❒ Given :-
- Tina ran around a rectangular garden of length 12 metres and breadth 8 metres.
- Meena ran around a square field of side 11 metres.
❒ To Find :-
- Who covered more distance.
- How much more distance covered.
❒ Required Formulas :-
- Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
- Perimeter of square = 4 × Side
❖ Calculation of distance covered by Tina :-
➦ Tina ran around the rectangular field having,
- Length = 12 m
- Breadth = 8 m
∴ Distance covered by Tina = Perimeter of the rectangular field
= 2 (Length + Breadth)
= [ 2 (12 + 8) ] m
= (2 × 20) m
= 40 m
- Hence, Tina convered the distance of 40 m.
❖ Calculation of distance covered by Meena :-
➦ Meena ran around a square field having,
- Length of each side = 11 m
∴ Distance covered by Meena = Perimeter of the square field
= 4 × Side
= (4 × 11) m
= 44 m
- Hence, Meena convered the distance of 44 m.
★ As distance covered by Meena is greater than distance covered by Tina; therefore, Meena covered more distance.
❖ Calculation of difference of distance covered by Tina
and Meena :-
We have,
- Distance covered by Tina = 40 m
- Distance covered by Meena = 44 m
∴ Difference = Distance covered by Meena - Distance covered by Tina
= 44 m - 40 m
= 4 m
- Hence, the difference is 4 m.
★ As the difference of distance covered by Tina and Meena is 4 m; therefore, Meena covered more distance by 4 m than Tina.
Tina ran around a rectangular garden of length 12 metres and breadth 8 metres.
Meena ran around a square field of side 11 metres.
- Who covered more distance.
- How much more distance covered.
⇛ Tina ran around the rectangular field having,
- Length = 12 m
- Breadth = 8 m
Distance covered by Tina = Perimeter of the rectangular field
= 2 (Length + Breadth)
= [ 2 (12 + 8) ] m
= (2 × 20) m
= 40 m
⇛Meena ran around a square field having,
Length of each side = 11 m
Distance covered by Meena = Perimeter of the square field
= 4 × Side
= (4 × 11) m
= 44 m
As distance covered by Meena is greater than distance covered by Tina; therefore, Meena covered more distance.
We have,
Distance covered by Tina = 40 m
Distance covered by Meena = 44 m
∴ Difference = Distance covered by Meena - Distance covered by Tina
= 44 m - 40 m
= 4 m
Hence, the difference is 4 m.
