If the area is A then the A=L*W so L=A/W. Note that all measurements need to be in the proper units. Here everything is in yards so just plug in 264 for A and 11 for W.
Example: Some area A (like a gymnasium floor) is 300 square yards. The area is 15 yards wide (W). How long (L) is the area.
We use the equation L=A/W, so L=300/15=20 yards wide.
This should give you all the information you need to solve the problem.
