Answer:
19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
first, identify which is length and which is width. length is always longer than the width.
in order to do so, we need the measures in the same units, so let's convert . 12 yards to feet and 204 inches to feet:
there are 3 feed in a yard, so let's multiply 12 by 3:
12 • 3 = 36 feet
there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so let's divide 204 by 12
204 ÷ 12 = 17 feet
which is longer? 36 feet! so that's the length
finally, subtract the width(17 ft) from the length (36 ft)
36 - 17 = 19ft
