It can enclose any area between zero and 795 square yards.

If the field is 49.9999 yards long and 0.0001 yard wide, then the perimeter is 100 yards
and the area is 0.0049999 square yard.

The greatest possible enclosed area with a given amount of fence and straight sides is a square. With 100 yards
of fence, the square that's 25 yards on a side encloses 625 square yards of land.

The greatest possible enclosed area with a given amount of fence and any shape is a circle. With 100 yards of fence,
the circle with a circumference of 100 yards has a diameter of 31.83 yards, and encloses an area of 795.77 square yards. (the number is rounded)
