Draw a diagram.
Let each part of the field have dimensions x and y, with the whole field of length 3x. Then the amount of fencing needed is
6x+4y = 600
The area, naturally, is 3xy
If the three parts are not the same length, then just let x be the whole width, and then you have
area = xy
fence = 2x+4y
