Two Fields (Posted on 2004-08-06)

A farmer has two rectangular fields with a peculiar relationship. Both fields have integer dimensions. The corn field has three times the area of the hay field but the hay field has three times the perimeter.

It is also known that the dimensions of the corn field differ by 1, and the shorter dimension of the hay field is less than 100.

Find the dimensions of the two fields.
