Question 520254: The entranceway of a hotel is in the shape of a parallelogram and has an area of 96 square yards. If the width of a carpet material is 24 feet, what is the minimum length necessary to have enough carpet to cover the entranceway? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Presuming you don't care where you put the seams in the pieces of carpet, just divide 96 square yards by the number of yards in 24 feet to determine the number of yards of length needed.
