Given:

The length of the rectangular block, l=130 yards.

The width of the rectangular block, w=200 feet.

Since 1 yard=3 feet, the length of the rectangular block in feet is,


\begin{gathered} l=130yard\text{ }*\frac{3\text{ fe}et}{1\text{ yard}} \\ l=390\text{ fe}et \end{gathered}

The perimeter of the block can be calculated as,


\begin{gathered} P=2(l+w) \\ P=2(390+200) \\ P=2(590) \\ P=1180\text{ fe}et \end{gathered}

The distance Fiona walk is the same as the perimeter of the rectangular block.

Therefore, the distance Fiona walk is 1180 feet.
