Let us assume the length of the floor = x yards
Width of the gymnasium floor = 11 yards
Area of the gymnasium floor = 264 square yards
Then
Width Length = Area
11 x = 264
x = 264/11
   = 24 yards
So the length of the gymnasium floor is 24 yards. The  correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "C".

its 24in^2 because you would need to divide 264in^2 by 11in^2 so you can find out the length and 264/11 = 24in^2  and to check my anwser- 11*24 = 264in^2
