Question

Priya runs around a square park of side 75 m. Anna runs around a rectangular park with length of 60 m and breadth 45 m. Who covers less distance and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

Anna covered les distance by 90 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Priya = 75 = 75x4 = 300

Anna = 60, 45 = (60x2)+(45x2) = 210

Anna runs less by 90 m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Priya

Side of square park = a = 75m

perimeter = 4a

=4×75

=300 m

Distance covered by Priya = 300 m

Anna

length = l = 60m

breadth = b = 45m

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

=2(60+45)

=2(105)

=210m

Distance covered by Anna = 210 m

To compare

= 300m-210m

= 90m

Therefore Anna covered less distance by 90 m

Hope it helps :-D
