Well, we dont know because we cant see the barmodels
w + 4
------------------------
l l
l l w
l l

Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w
Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds
1.Simplify/combine like terms:
w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =
4w + 8 =
Now it's a 2-step algebra equation
4w + 8 = 60
2.Subtract 8 on both sides
4w = 56
3.Divide both sides by 4
w = 14
I believe that it is just a square room, either that or he isn’t good at measuring
