Answer:

29 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one dimension of the yard is 20 ft., we multiply that by 2 (20 × 2 = 40) to get both sides of the yard with that dimension. Then, we subtract 98 - 40 = 58. 58 ft. is the total of BOTH of the other two sides, so we divide that by 2 (58 ÷ 2 = 29) to get the final answer.
