We are given that each side of the Square Park measures 160 yards.

The Square Park has 4 sides.

The perimeter of the Square Park is given by


P=4s=4(160)=640\;yards

This means that if you walk around the outside of the Square Park one time then you would cover a distance of 640 yards.

It is given that Tina walked twice around the outside of the park.


2*640=1280\;yards

Therefore, Tina walked 1280 yards.
