Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

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

i.e. She covers the distance equal to the perimeter of the block.

The block is rectangular, and it is 230 yards long and 200 feet wide.

1 yard=3 feet

230 yards=3×230 feet

=690 feet

Perimeter of block=Perimeter of rectangle

= 2(length+breath)

= 2(690+200) feet

= 2×890 feet

= 1780 feet

Hence, Fiona will jog 1780 feet
