Determine how far he walked in one loop

This question is incomplete, as the playground diagram and dimensions are missing. However, I'll answer on a general terms.

What this question requires is to calculate the perimeter of the playground.

Assume that the playground is rectangular and the dimensions are: 2  meters by 3 meters.

The distance walked will be calculated using the following perimeter formula.

$Distance = 2(2m + 3m)$

$Distance = 2(5m)$

$Distance = 10m$

If it is a square with 5m as the length of one of its side, the distance would be:

$Distance = 4 * 5m$

$Distance = 20m$

So basically, all you need to do is calculate the perimeter of the playground.
