The area of a rectangular pasture is 8750 square feet. The pasture is divided into three smaller pastures by two fences parallel to the shorter sides. The widths of two of the larger pastures are the same, and the width of the third is one-half that of the others. Find the possible dimen- sions of the original pasture if the perimeter of the smaller of the subdivisions is 190 feet.
