1 yard is 36 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "So 1 sq. yd is \"36%2A36=1296\"\"in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then 20 sq. yds would be \"A%5Bc%5D=20%2A1296=25920\"\"in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Converting the other sizes into inches,
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=12%2A12%2B6=144%2B6=150\"\"in\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=16%2A12%2B6=196\"\"in\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the area to be covered is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Bf%5D=L%2AW=196%2A150=29400\"\"in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The area to be covered is larger than the area of the carpet.
\n" ); document.write( "No, it won't cover.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
