a typical rectangular city block in Manhattan is about 264 feet by 900 feet. what is the distance of sidewalk that surrounds the block?
To find the distance of the sidewalk that surrounds the block, we need to calculate the perimeter of the block.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(264 ft + 900 ft)
Perimeter = 2(1164 ft)
Perimeter = 2328 ft
Therefore, the distance of sidewalk that surrounds the block is 2328 feet.
