Answer: 648

The person above me is correct. But some programs (edmentum plato) require the answer to be to the nearest integer. So the answer is 648.

The first thing we must do for this case is to find the perimeter of the figure.
We have then that the perimeter is:
P = ((35) * (280/180) * pi) + 45
P = 216.04 yards.
Then,
As David runs the field three times then:
d = 3 * P
d = 3 * 216.04
d = 648.12 yards.
Answer:
he covers a distance of 648.12 yards
