Question

Fiona is going to jog once around the block she lives on. The block is rectangular, and it is 180 yards long and 200 feet wide. How far will Fiona jog (in feet)? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

1480 feet

Explanation:

If she would jog round the block, she would be jugging round the perimeter of the block

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2X ( length + breadth)

The length is in yards and it has to be converted to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

180 yards = 180 x 3 = 540 feet

2 x ( 540 + 200) = 1480 feet
