A horse runs around a ground twice and covers a distance of 8 km, one side of square ground is:
(a) 8 km
(b) 4 km
(c) 1 km
(d) 2 km
A horse runs around the square field two times, and the distance covered is 8 km. This means that the distance covered by the horse in one round of the square field is 8 km divided by 2, which equals 4 km.
Since the perimeter of a square is equal to four times the length of one of its sides, we have:
4 × side = 4 km
Solving for the length of the side, we have:
Side = 4 km / 4 = 1 km.
