Answer:

1480 feet

Step-by-step 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
