    2L + 2W = 500 yards         (You realize that you length could be as little as 4 yards and the width could be 246 yards.   You need a little more information).   Knowing the difference between the length and the width would make it a little easier.   Let's say the length is 100 yards and the width is 150 yards.    2(100) + 2(150) = 500          200 + 300 = 500
    In algebra, it would be:   L = 2/3W       2L   +    2W    =    500
    I need to know either L or W to create an equation that can be solved.
