Given that,

The volume of room = v = 30 cubic yards

length of room = l = ?

width of room = w

height of room = h

The volume of room (v) is calculated as:

v = l * w * h

Now, put the values in the formula, we get

30 = l*w*h

30/ (w*h) = l

or

l = 30/ (w*h)

Therefore, the length of room would be 30/ (w*h).

Case 2:

If it is a cubic room with same height, length and width. Then, we can write the volume equation as:

v = l * l * l (as l = w = h)

30 = l^3

or

l^3 = 30

l = 30^1/3

l = 3.107 yard

or

l = 3.1 yard (rounded to tenth of a yard)
