Question

The area of gymnasium floor is 264 square yards. the floor is 11 yards wide. How long is the floor?

Answer 1

The way to get area would be Length*Width, and so we have to divide the area (264 square yards) by the side width given (11 yards) to get the length. This would equal 24, making your answer 24 yards

Answer 2

Would assume the gymnasium floor is rectangular.

Area = length * width

264 square yards = L * 11 yards

264 = 11L

11L = 264

L = 264/11

L = 24

The length of the floor is = 24 yards.

Hope this helps.
