how do i convert square yards to linear feet?

For example, if I have 1,600 square yards, how many linear feet is that?

There are 9 sq ft per sq yd, so that is 14400 sq ft.

If a perfect square, that would be 120' on a side, but it could just as easily be a rectangle 144' x 100' or even 1440' x 10' or any other combination that multiples to 14400.

It wouldn't make any difference what the dimensions of a given side are or even what the shape is (rectangle, pentagon, whatever). As you measure the perimeter of the object around all sides, it's still going to be the same number of linear feet all the way around.
