Answer:

Distance around the field is 220m

Explanation:

The distance around the field means the perimeter of the field

Since the field is rectangular

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where l is the length

w is the width

From the question

l = 85m

w = 25m

Perimeter = 2(85) + 2(25)

Perimeter = 170 + 50

The final answer is

Perimeter = 220m

Hope this helps you
