The red line is the first 500 meters the man walked from home. The blue line is the return journey from the flower shop to the hospital, 2 x 800 = 1600 meters. The dotted lines show the original journey to the shop and the journey from the shop back home, which in total must be the same distance as the first 500 meters. So the total distance is 2600 meters.
