Question

Fiona is going to jog once around the block she lives on

Answer 1

Step 1

Draw the image

Step 2

Convert 230 yards to feet

1 yard = 3 foot

230 yards = 230 x 3 = 690 feet

Step 3

Write the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle (p)

`\begin{gathered} p=\text{ 2(length + width)} \\ \text{length}=\text{ 690f}eet \\ \text{width}=\text{ 200 f}eet \end{gathered}`

Step 4

Find how far Fiona will jog in feet

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ 2(690 + 200)} \\ =2(890) \\ =1780\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}`

Hence, Fiona will jog 1780 feet since she jogs around the block once.
