Lets see.
all the way around: 2*front + 2 * side
= 2*98*3feet + 2*98*1/3*3=?

front - 98 yards
side - 98/3 yards
total = 98 + 98 + 98/3 + 98/3 yards
As 1 yard = 3ft
total = 3 * (98 + 98 + 98/3 + 98/3) ft
total = 294 + 294 + 98 + 98 ft
total = 784 ft
side - 98/3 yards
total = 98 + 98 + 98/3 + 98/3 yards
As 1 yard = 3ft
total = 3 * (98 + 98 + 98/3 + 98/3) ft
total = 294 + 294 + 98 + 98 ft
total = 784 ft
