Answer:

19 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Shape of route is rectangular :

Length of route = 5.5 miles

Width of route = 4 miles

Distance of one complete trip = perimeter of the rectangular route :

Perimeter of a rectangle :

P = 2(length + Width)

P = 2(5.5 + 4)

P = 2(9.5)

P = 19 miles

Hence one complete trip is 19 miles long.
