Question

The area of the yard was 6,756 square yards. The width of the yard was 12 yards. What was the length of the yard?

Answer 1

Therefore the Length of the yard is 563 yards.

Explanation:

Consider the yard as a Rectangle

Area of the Yard = 6756 square yards

Width of the yard = W = 12 yards

To Find :

Length of the yard = L =?

Solution:

WE know that

`\textrm{Area of Rectangle}=Length* Width`

Substituting the values we get

`\textrm{Area of Yard}=L* W=L* 12\\6756=L* 12\\\\W=(6756)/(12)=563\ yard`

Therefore the Length of the yard is 563 yards.

Answer 2

The length of the yard was 563 yards.

Explanation:

Given,

The area of the yard = 6,756 square yards and

The width of the yard (b) = 12 yards

To find, the length of the yard (l) = ?

We know that,

Area of the rectangle = Length(l) × Breadth(b)

⇒ l × 12 = 6,756

⇒ l =
`(6,756)/(12)`

⇒ l = 563 yards

Thus, the length of the yard was 563 yards.
