Question

Rahul runs around a square field whose perimeter is 120 metre. Soham runs around a rectangular field length 40 metre and breadth 30 metre. Who cover smaller distance and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

rectanguar field by 160m

Step-by-step explanation:

120m-280m

160m

Answer 2

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.

Perimeter of Rectangle = Perimeter

= 2(Length + Breadth)

= 2(40+30)

= 80 + 60 140

Soham covers = 140 m

Distance covered by Rahul

= 120 m

Distance covered by Soham

= 140 m

120 < 140

Distance by Rahul < Distance by Soham 140 – 120

Difference = 20 m

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