Question

The area of a gymnasium floor is 264 yd.² the floor is 11 yards wide how long does the floor

Answer 1

24 yards

Explanation:

We are given that the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 yard² and the floor is 11 yards wide and we are to find the length of the floor.

We know the formula for area of the rectangle:

Area of a rectangle = l × w

So substituting the given values in the above formula to find how long the floor of the gym is.

264 = l × 11

l = 264/11

l = 24

Therefore, the floor of the gymnasium is 24 yards long.

Answer 2

The length is 24 yds

Explanation:

The area is length times width

A = lw

We know the width=11 and the area = 264

264 =l*11

Divide by 11

264/11 = l

24 = l

The length is 24 yds
