You have the correct answer. It is 80.3 square yards.

Work Shown:

Area of parallelogram = length*width = 21.5*33.6 = 722.4 sq ft

1 yard = 3 ft

1 sq yd = 9 sq ft ... square both sides

To convert from square feet to square yards, we'll divide by 9

This is the same as multiplying by 1/9

722.4 sq ft = (722.4 sq ft)*(1 sq yd/9 sq ft)

722.4 sq ft = (722.4)*(1/9) sq yards

722.4 sq ft = 80.2667 sq yards

722.4 sq ft = 80.3 sq yards
