Question

Rahul Rahul runs around a square field whose perimeter is 120 M Soham runs around a rectangular field with the length 40 m and breadth 30 M who covers the smaller distance and by how much​

Answer 1

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer :-}}}$

The distance covered by Rahul is less than Soham by 20 m

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}$

Given :

Rahul runs around Square field with Perimeter = 120 m

Soham runs around a Rectangle whose = Length : 40 m and Breadth : 30 m

To find :

Who covers less distance and by how much.

Solution :

As we are given with the distance covered by Rahul, we have to find the distance covered by Soham.

To find the distance, we need to find the Perimeter of the Rectangle.

$\star$ Perimeter of Rectangle =

${\boxed{\sf\:{Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)}}}$

$\sf{\implies2(40 + 30)}$

$\sf{\implies80 + 60}$

$\sf{\implies140}$

${\boxed{\sf\bigstar \: {Soham \: covers = 140 \: m}}}$

Distance covered by Rahul = 120 m

Distance covered by Soham = 140 m

120 < 140

Distance by Rahul < Distance by Soham

$\sf{\implies140 - 120}$

$\sf{\implies20}$

${\boxed{\sf\bigstar \: \: {Difference = 20 \: m}}}$

$\therefore$The distance covered by Rahul is less than Soham by 20 m

Answer 2

Answer:

rahul covers smaller distance by 20m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of  the square is 120 M

Perimeter of  rectangle:

p=2(l+b)

p=2(40+30)

p=2*70

p=140 this is the distance covered by Soham

so,

140-120=20m
