You can put this solution on YOUR website! 400 length split into x and y.
Each of these, becomes perimeter x for smaller field, and perimeter y for large field.
Each is square shape, so side length for small field is ; side length for large field is .
, from second part of the description.
The original 400 cm length also allows the equation, .
