The L & W are double that of the pool enclosure
so double it.
104*2=208 yards

This really is an easy problem.
The swimming pool is a square, you can divide 104 by 4 =26 yds
Double 26 to 52 multiply by 4 = 208 yds
Or since it says 1/2 just double the amount.
This works for perimeter by won't work for area.
