You can put this solution on YOUR website! let l be length and w be width
:
l = 4w + 6
:
2l + 2w = 602
:
2(4w+6) +2w = 602
:
8w +12 +2w = 602
:
10w = 590
:
w = 59
:
l = 4(59) + 6 = 242
:
*****************************************
length is 242 yards and width is 59 yards

check answer
:
2(242) +2(59) = 602
