Step-by-Step Solution

A lap runs along the two 90 m straight sides and round the two curved ends, and those two ends together make one whole circle of radius 14 m. Distance = m. (The two 28 m ends are never run along — counting them as well gives 324 m; using 28 m as the radius gives 356 m.)
Answer: A) 268
