Solution

Zara walked around her neighbourhood which is a perfect square. Each side of the square is 400 m long.

A square has 4 equal sides.

So, to find the total distance Zara travelled, we multiply the length of one side by the number of sides.

That is, 400 m (length of one side) * 4 (number of sides) = 1600 m

So, Zara travelled a total distance of 1600 m.
