Answer:
The person running around the rectangular field will run the longer distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of square = 4a where a is its side.
=> 4(8) => 32 m is square's perimeter.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
=> 2(10 + 7) => 2(17) => 34 m is rectangle's perimeter.
As 34 > 32, the person running around the rectangular field will run the longer distance.
