width=x
length is 2x-10
half perimeter is length=width=200 yds
x+2x-10=200
3x=210
x=70 yds width
2x-10=130 yds length
area is 130*70=9100 sq yd
7/25*(9100)=2548 sq yds
-----------------------------
width=x
length=2x
perimeter=4x, two widths and one length=24 feet
x=6 feet
width is 6 ft.
length is 12 ft.
It has an area of 72 ft^2
