From internet, the actual dimensions is $120\text{ yards}\times 53.3\text{ yards}$. Finding the actual area: $$A=xy=120(53.3)=6,396\text{ yards}^2$$ Finding the area from the given values of the problem: $$A=xy=86.7(86.6)\approx7,508$$ Comparing the dimensions, the dimensions from the given data is a square while the actual field is a rectangle. Comparing the area, the area from the given data is larger than the area of the actual field.
