Answer:
Explanation:
First, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit. Since the length is given in yards and the width is given in inches, we will convert the length to inches for consistency:
Length = 10 yards × 3 feet/yard × 12 inches/foot = 360 inches
Now we can find the difference in length and width:
Difference = Length - Width
Width = 168 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 14 feet
Difference = 360 inches - 14 feet = 360 inches - 168 inches = 192 inches
To convert inches to feet, we divide by 12:
Difference = 192 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 16 feet
Therefore, the length of the room exceeds the width by 16 feet.
