Okay. So let’s break this down. We can solve this problem without a picture because it is a square. Therefore, all sides are the same. There are also four sides on a square. I have two ways to solve this problem.

One:
Divide 36 by 4 to know what each side is. 36/4 is 9. Since we are running from first to third, that is two sections of the field. Half of it. We would multiply 9 by 2. We get 18.

Two:
We know that from first to third is half the field. So we can do 36/0.5. This way, get 18
