Hi there,
To walk from M to N is 120m
Diameter = 2 x radius
To walk around the boundary
will be Pi x diameter (Circumference)
Pi x 120 = 376.99m
376.99 - 120 = 256.99m
hope this helps :-)

Diameter: 2(60), or 120 m
Semi-circumference: %281%2F2%29+%2A+pi+%2A+120, or 60pi
Difference: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C5%2C60+%2A+pi+-+120%2C+m%2C+or%2C+68.7956%2C+m%29%29
